I've replaced the oil pan on my ex-325e, and it wasn't too hard, but it was a bit of a PITA. Anyone have any tips on doing so on the S52? I'm flying without a Bentley right now, so any hints would be appreciated. Also, which nut is it specifically? TIA, KC Boyce '97 M3 Crew Cab

Does this just mean that there is a problem with the O2 sensor(s) after the catylitic convertor, or is there something else in there that I need to worry about?

I was 95% sure it was the oil pump nut, based on recent board discussion. If I knew they wouldn't cover it, I would've done the job myself 2 weeks ago. Oh well - everyone else pay attention to this, or follow the list's advice to secure your oil pump nut before it backs off. > >My 2 cents, >Jim Bassett >1998 M3/4 - oil pump nut preventatively tightened >1993 325is #44 JP/A5 - oil pump nut tightening cost me $7200 and a race >weekend :-( ACK again! Not a fun thing to experience. Guess I should quit whining about my paltry $800 now ;) I've spoken to my lawyer about the best way to deal with this. I will advise the list after my situation is resolved. I'll update when I get the car back.

#9. brake specs - from Dorffer, Rich

Someone told > me the original BMW pieces are painted or coated at > the hats, I don't know for sure myself. A lot of original BMW rotors are painted with a flat gray paint on the hats. It doesn't prevent rust, but it does deter it longer than unpainted hats. I paint mine (hats and rotor vanes) with hi-temp ceramic based silver paint (intended for exhaust manifolds). Still doesn't prevent rust but it does delay it for a while. Let's see, I have painted Balos, Brembos, and Ate before. It is easier to do it when they are new as rusty ones are much harder to clean up first. Euro E36 M3 rotors are nice since they have aluminum hats but I still painted the vanes with some hi-temp ceramic based silver paint before installing them. Regards, Rich
