We don't allow timing or timing equipment at Schools, so no one else should know either ;) But, looking at NASA and CCA race times: Buttonwillow #13 in a well driven street E36 M3, with the usual mods and R-comps, should run around 2:low teens. Willow Springs in a well driven street E36 M3, with the usual mods and R-comps, should run around 1:40's. Steve.

It's been awhile since BMW CCA ran a Club race there, but for reference Speed World Challenge Touring cars run mid 1:40's. Steve.

It includes a few safeguards to reduce the chances of locking yourself out - something that is perhaps too easy with some aftermarket alarms, as Ron points out! The controller does so many other things that it is probably overkill for almost everyone, but perhaps I can adapt something simpler to safely autolock the car. I find the concept is really neat and convenient but that people often don't seem to implement it very well. -John

#7. What would you pay? - from Tom Reynolds

Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 14:36:22 -0700 From: Tom Reynolds <kjtar@earthlink.net> Subject: What would you pay? Hi everyone, I've been introduced to a '95 M3 that has a bit over 100k miles on it. Only known (and I'll have it checked out) performance mod is a Dinan chip. Original also available with purchase of car. (BTW, is it "DEENAN" or DYNAN"?) Anyway, from 10 feet it looks like a nice looking car (Avus Blue/Dove Gray) and I'm told (by another guy who apparently has driven it) that it runs like is has 32k miles instead of 100k. 5 speed, Lux package, service records are also available, car has been local, two previous owners. What would a fair buying price be? I know it depends on condition, and I'll have a PPI done, but just to start things off, what do you think? (I know what they're asking, but don't want to skew the results of this "poll" I'll advise after the results are in, in a day or so.) Thanks very much, Tom Reynolds Sand Springs (near Tulsa) OK

Buttonwillow is a bit tricky b/c there are so many configurations. Cheers, Kirk Lachman Sin City Chapter '95 M3 #21 I-stock

#10. Tow points? - from Don Eilenberger

Not that I'm trying to hex myself (but - my '03 525iT is getting a BMW paid for tow on Monday AM, I think it's jealous..) Where exactly is the M3 supposed to be pulled from to get it up on a flatbed? The inadequate manual makes note of the towing-eye and flip down covers in the bumpers, which I'm familiar with from other BMW's, but I see no flip down covers on the M3.. Anyone?
