However, I have had very good results with the Axxis Ultimates. They dust much less than stock, and it cleans off with soap and water, just like the stock pads. They also stop well also. I use them for street and autox though, no track events for me. Probably not the best track pad I would guess. It's a great street/autox pad though.

Nope, fortunately you're not going to have to run a new cable. You are however going to have to *buy* one. The cable is a simple Bowden type with cylindrical metal ends like a bike brake cable. These ends slot into, and are easily removable from, the latch and handle mechanisms at either end. However your broken plastic handle/base mech isn't available separately. It only comes already assembled to a new cable. So you buy the complete assembly (around $35), remove and discard the new cable itself, and attach the new handle/base mech to the protruding end of your old cable. Neil 96 M3

The HP+ are meant to be Track pads and just like any track pads they will rattle and dust. And since they are metallic compound they will rust and bound to your shiny alloy wheels. The Hawks HPS on the other hands are strictly street pads and they are quiet and dust much less than stock. So, stick with street pads or make sure you clean your wheels on a daily basis. Joe (Running Hawks HPS and only clean my wheels once a month) -------------- Well, I've been running the HP+ pads for several weeks now and have noticed that they dust rather heavily. Real gritty black dust too. We've had some bad weather here lately and I haven't been able to clean my wheels in a little over a week. I decided today I better clean them and it was a good thing that I did! I did my usual cleaning routine and was shocked to see brake pad material completely stuck to my wheels. Mothers Aluminum polish took out some, but I'm going to have to hit it with the buffing wheel to get the rest out. This is entirely unacceptable. Has this happened to anyone else? I could deal with noise they make and the dust. But if the dust isn't going to wash off cleanly, I'm going to dump them. How's the dust on the Axxis Ultimates? Easily cleaned off? -josh ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

#7. '95 M3 Jim C., Intake, Euro HFM, etc. FS - from eevans@planetc.com

Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2003 19:44:54 -0400 From: eevans@planetc.com Subject: '95 M3 Jim C., Intake, Euro HFM, etc. FS Sold......almost, highest bidder by noon EDST gets it. Anyone interested in a used Jim C., cold air intake w/ the larger Euro HFM, Huge ITG filter, heat shield, reducer and chip? All parts are in great condition, no moving parts to wear, used for about 2 years or 16K miles. Obviously only fits '95 M3s w/ OBD l. Everything included plus installation instructions. Takes about an hour to install if you've never opened your computer before, less time if you've done it. Jim C., says a '95 M3 dynoed w/ his kit at around 270+ hp, I felt the increase in power immediately. Very noticeable increase in power. I think it's currently selling for around $985, make me a serious offer (please be realistic) and experience the extra power the '95s lacked. Best bolt on for the buck! For a detailed look at the parts included in this kit go to the intake and exhaust menu and click on E36 M3 1995 Conforti Euro Intake: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/index.asp Thankx, Evan Evans President Smoky Mountain BMW CCA Knoxville, TN 865-694-3088

#8. Illuminated Shift Knob Install - from K.C. Boyce
Top
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 07:48:09 -0400 From: "K.C. Boyce" <kcb@abcgroup-inc.com> Subject: Illuminated Shift Knob Install Gruppe, Thanks to all who replied to my earlier pleas for help. I finally got the knob installed yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. The p/ns on Ron Stygar's site were spot on, though I would like to add a point of clarification: The harness (p/n 61 12 2 231 560) that goes into the dimmed lighting control doesn't tap into a T-junction at the dimmer switch (as someone mentioned earlier). On my car, the harness provided a pass-through for the regular dimmed lighting control with a take-off for the knob. One thing I discovered during the installation was that our cars have a lot of stuff under the dash! In comparison, I could hold big parties under the dash in my E30. Amazing engineering, but I can understand how weight keeps creeping up. Also, all of the plastic pieces fit together (and go back together!) much more nicely than on my E30. Ah, progress! Thanks again, KC Boyce '97 M3/4 (now glowing shiftily)

#9. Under dash question - from K.C. Boyce
Top
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 07:52:55 -0400 From: "K.C. Boyce" <kcb@abcgroup-inc.com> Subject: Under dash question Gruppe, A follow-up question raised by my shift knob installation. Under the dash, I found a small (similar size to the push button on a retractable ball-point pen) plastic piece connected to a wire that ran down the upper right hand side of the knee panel cover to the shift knob area. The plastic piece was about 2 mm in diameter and threaded on one end, with a metallic-looking thing in the center. This metallic thing had a piece of felt glued to it. The wire ran into the shift area but then disappeared. I couldn't find where it came out (without removing the console, at least). Does anyone have any idea what this could be? My only guess is that it's the antenna for the keyless entry/alarm (my alarm LED is in the same general vicinity, but the wire from the plastic thingy definitely does not go to the same connector). Any ideas where this thingy should go to be installed correctly? TIA, KC Boyce '97 M3/4
