Add in the bottom end rebuild from the previous Las Vegas race, and I've probably got the most expensive non-worked M50 race motor out there :-( And oddly, I had gotten the 325is partly due to the motors being more "bullet-proof" than the S14 I was co-driving.

Chuck, this did the trick! Funny, I wondered why the only Google match for BKR6EIXA was on Bob Tunnell's webpage. :) It must be a super-secret competitive advantage. National Auto Parts didn't carry NGK. The local AutoStoned didn't have them in stock, but they could order them. I had them order six ($6.99 each, prepaid) and they'll be in tomorrow. That's pretty pricey for plugs, but I'm soon going to trip 150,000 miles, and I figure I'll see if these'll clear up that slight miss at idle.. - Chris

#10. Heater hoses -- incorrect p/n on etk for '95 M3 - from KLchmn@aol.com

The correct p/n's on a '95 with a/c are: 64 211 394 291 64 211 394 292 The etk lists these for every other e36 except the M3 (it seems)... Cheers, Kirk Lachman '95 M3 #21 I-stock
