I would expect the E36 to have it also since it was a later design. Just curious if this showed up on your friends cluster after installing it in your car? AFAIK - the only way around this is to have the replacement cluster pre-configured for the correct miles before installation.

Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2005 13:16:32 -0700 From: Carl Stern <Carl.Stern@xilinx.com> Subject: Re: OT: Tips for selling a car?... (Sorry for the late reply, I'm a digester.) I buy all my cars used, sell most of them myself. Same goes for my motorcycles. Scanning car ads is kind of my hobby (obsession) so I feel very qualified to give advice on this. Carl's tips: Use the newspaper. Most people don't want to hassle with shipping cars or buying them sight unseen. Your local buyer is your best bet. My garaged queen 95 M3 that I bought in 2001 with all of 14k miles on it came out of the good old Rocky Mountain News. This doesn't mean you shouldn't use the net, but paper still rules. Ebay and the like work great for rare/collector cars. Determine a fair price! Don't use the Roundel as a guide. They are all overpriced. To appraise, NADA is best followed by Edmunds. KBB is also high. People expect to pay less to a private party than a dealer. Overpriced cars sit, well priced cars sell. Know your market. Make sure you list the price! This greatly benefits you as a seller. There is a saying, "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it". This seems to be true for cars. People who ask too much don't put their price. Buyers assume this so they won't call. Also, you don't want to waste your time with bottom feeders looking for a steal. If you put your price, you have a better chance of hooking up with a realistic buyer. (This goes for those of you on this email list also.) Answer the phone! If I get voice mail, an answering machine or whatever, I usually hang up. I don't even know if I got the right person. If you plan on advertising over the weekend, stick around to take the calls. Some people actually are ready to buy that day. Be honest in listing and describing the car. Amazing how every car for sale is in excellent condition and has had oil changes every 3000 miles, isn't it? Have the car as clean as can be. Not only does that make the car more attractive, but I assume that if a person doesn't care how it looks than they may not be so good about maintenence either. True or not, that perception exists. Anal retentive owners have nice cars. Expect lots of tire kickers and jerks. Less than half the calls are serious buyers. Out of those, only a few will actually come look at the car. Many will set up an appt. and be no-shows. I suggest setting aside time that works for you and tell them they can come during that time. Don't inconvenience yourself setting up an appt that may not happen. I would not bring the car to anyone. Either a no-show may happen, or there have been reports of thefts that way. Some people don't even let people come to their house to see a car. That depends on your potential buyers, your neighborhood, your paranoia level, etc. Good luck. Carl Stern
