#2. this week's puzzler: A/C condenser swap leads to drivability issues. - from daanesh chanduwadia

Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 22:00:21 -0400 From: "daanesh chanduwadia" <daanesh@hotmail.com> Subject: this week's puzzler: A/C condenser swap leads to drivability issues. I'm someone who uses the A/C more often than not (given the M3's copious power I use it far more than I did in the Hondas I used to own). But a couple months back, I started the car and got no cold air. Took it to a reputed BMW repair shop and the condenser was replaced to the tune of $850.. Problem is, now I don't want to use the A/C because when I do the sudden spikes/drops in power (during engagement and disengagement of the compressor) send a shock through the driveline; drag is sufficient that i must modulate the throttle to keep from making passengers sick and followers irate. Anyone experienced this? Know its cause? Have a cure? (Someone recently mentioned belt tension?) (As a bit of background, I've been suspecting the VANOS isn't functioning as intended - large torque spike around 4K - but that was the case before the condenser swap as well). Many thanks, Daanesh (whose 95 M3's only ailments seem to be those caused by previous cures).Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

The 3.2 has lighter lifters and its stock cam lobes are narrower, making the 3.0 and 3.2 litre stock cams non-interchangeable.

I think he's currently putting together a group buy on them. Bob, Great information, thanks. I just spoke to Chuck Stickley who confirmed that the widely available 264 intake/256 exhaust cams are the best choice for a street car. He went on to say that 284/296 would be an issue with stock pistons due to valve clearance (or the lack thereof). I have no intention of opening up the bottom end so 264/256 looks like the way I will go. Agreed, Jack Money would be the way to go. Strangely, I spoke to Jack and he didn't mention the 264/256 either so I am not sure why availability is different. Best regards, Rich
