Is Bosch still the best option? If it matters, this is a race-only application. Thanks. Scott Riley

#3. Head light upgrade for E36 M3? - from dhogg

I know I'll take flames for this, but I've been very happy with the PIAA Superwhite bulbs for the price. I know it's popular to spend a lot more on light upgrades, but to me they made a noticeable difference for a fraction of the cost and fuss. Dave Hogg

#4. Aftermarket seat install? - from Jeremy Lucas

Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 13:18:50 -0400 From: "Jeremy Lucas" <jlucas@columbus.rr.com> Subject: Aftermarket seat install? Got part way though the process of putting in some Recaro Speed seats today and can't really see how I can keep the stock belt inboard buckle. Anybody been there, done that? I have 5 pts for track days but was hoping to use the stock belts for the day to day stuff. I'm using TCKline brkts, Recaro sliders and Speed seats (just like SRD's). Also it's looking like I have to drill 2 holes in the TCK outboard brkt, which I'm a little peeved about because they are supposed to be designed for the Recaro sliders. Anybody else have that problem? I have some digital pictures that I will show to TCK's shop before I do any drilling, just to be sure. Thanks, Jeremy Lucas 95 M3

#8. Dead 1995 E36 M3 - from Tom Melton
Top
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 12:27:28 -0400 From: "Tom Melton" <tom_melton@emoryhealthcare.org> Subject: Dead 1995 E36 M3 I had a problem last night that continues on into today. I was driving my 95 M3, build 7/95, and after crossing some railroad tracks that cross the road, the engine stumbled once. Went about another 0.1 mile and it stumbles again. That makes me start to worry. About a mile later, approaching a stoplight, it dies. The engine will turn over, it just will not fire off. I push the car (when traffic clears) to the gas station nearby, pull out a Peake reader, and read the codes. The reader displays a x'1A' (decimal 26). The table with the reader says that is a Control Unit Supply code, and later when I check the Bentley manual, it is not listed. Actually only 4 digit codes are listed. Ugh. I had the car towed home (it was 11:30pm). Now it appears to be worse. The Peake reader will power up when connected to the test port, but if I try to read the failure codes, it just flashes 'E'. Also, I am now not getting the 'check engine' light during key on bulb test. Next I disconnected the battery for a minute and then re-connected. Cool, have check engine light during bulb test. Try to start the engine, and it fires to life for about 30 seconds, then dies again. Once more, check engine light is non-functional. Disconnect the battery again, wait, reconnect...no check engine light. Ok, so where do I start? Find someone with a similar build date M3 and start swapping parts? DME failure? Any clues? Thanks in advance.. -Tom

When the voltage gets too low, funny things start to happen.....or not happen. Also could be alternator. You could try charging the battery and see what happens. It may not be the answer but it's cheap/easy to try.

I disconnected it from the harness and re-connected it to verify nothing was loose. The biggest issue now is there is no "check engine" light at initial turn-on of key. So my thoughts are the DME is fried. Guess I need to open it, and make sure chip is firmly attached. -Tom >>> mromani@valuescience.com 06/27/04 02:05PM >>> Did you wash the car anytime recently? If so, pull the DME out and make sure it's not wet. Sometimes the drain plug clogs up and the dme becomes flooded.
