I just noticed that the online registration is now open. www.tracquest.com For those that are wondering about the event. Thep rices are a little higher than a BMWCCA MidO DE event but you'll get at least twice the track time over typical DE events and there are a lot fewer cars per group. Those that have been to a TracQuest events in the past know how regular DEs pale in comparison. I'll be instructing. Hope to see you there. Jeremy Lucas 95 M3 (T2 Honda S2000)

#4. 3rd brake light in wing problem - from Tucker Ryals
Top
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 19:37:23 -0800 (PST) From: Tucker Ryals <tuckerryals@yahoo.com> Subject: 3rd brake light in wing problem Gruppe, Recently, I discovered that the 3rd brake light in my rear wing is not working (the old reflection in the store window trick). Now for the issues. 1. The wing appears to be a non-factory part (no BMW part # stamped anywhere). Any idea what bulb(s) are needed for replacement? 2. The plastic cover over the light itself has hazed over terribly. Is this a replaceable piece? 3. There are 4 screws holding said plastic cover in place that are seemingly inaccessible due to their proximity to the trunk lid. Does the wing need to be removed to take the cover off to get to the bulb(s)? Thanks, Tucker Ryals Gainesville, FL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I did a test two years ago where I bought all the reman racks and compared the ratio...all the same. =( The reman rack that I ended up with started leaking last year...POS!!! Coincidentally, I had filled it with Redline D4ATF....of course, someone has mentioned to me off-list that Redline stuff is known to be bad for dissimilar metals....is this true? I dunno. I do know that another friend who had a reman rack as well, filled with Redline and his rack is leaking as well. Go figure. Anyway, I ended up with a rack off of a wrecked E36 and was pleased to find that it was quicker than my reman. Chester --- geoff atkinson <pskalc@hotmail.com> wrote: > Chester, > Hey....

#9. BMW Keyless Remote Procedure... - from scott noltensmeier
Top
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 06:52:27 -0800 (PST) From: scott noltensmeier <snoltens@yahoo.com> Subject: BMW Keyless Remote Procedure... BMW Keyless Remote Procedure... Will it work on a 96’ M3? - Do you know if the Subaru version is the same as BMW’s? Thanks Scott, E36M3 96' Coupe Activate Keyless Remote November 4, 2002 By: KitIson1985@aol.com I purchased a 1997 Z3 1.9 roadster in June and only received one keyless entry remote, even though it came with two sets of keys. Two weeks ago, I was searching for another remote, and found that if I were to purchase a keyless remote (part # 82 11 1 469 448) at a BMW dealership, it would cost around $120. Also, if I wanted to have the remote activated, so that it would operate on my vehicle, it would cost an additional $70. For all us BMW owners out there, doesn't it seem a bit odd that you bought a $30,000 sports car, and yet BMW still feels free to charge excessive amounts of money for relatively simple things. Activating a keyless remote is a simple thing. To make a long story short, I managed to buy a copy of the instructions, on how to activate or deactivate the keyless remote, for $7. I feel that something so simple (and actually pretty fun), should not cost $70. It all boils down to highway robbery. I know that this works on a '97 Z3, and with a keyless remote part # 82 11 1 469 448, so, without further adieu, here are the instructions for activating a keyless remote on a BMW. FOR FREE!!!! Each remote transmitter has a unique identification (ID) code. In order for a replacement remote to operate your security system, or to delete the ID code from a lost remote, you must follow the procedures detailed below so that your system's control module will learn/delete the desired ID code(s). This code-learning initialization procedure must be followed precisely within the sequence and time constraints specified, in order for the procedure to be carried out successfully. Preparation 1. Close all doors, trunk, and hood. 2. The security system must be in "disarm" mode. The key must be removed from the ignition key slot. Enter Code-Learning Mode 3. Open the trunk and leave it open. 4. Open the driver's door and sit in the driver's seat. 5. Close the driver's door. 6. Cycle the ignition switch five times between the "off" position and position 2 (ignition "ON", all dash warning lamps will illuminate). The red status LED will illuminate continuously, and the siren will "chirp" once, to indicate that the code-learning mode has been initiated. DO NOT START THE ENGINE The ignition switch cycling in step #6 must be performed within ten seconds. The sequence in steps #1-6 must be performed within 45 seconds. Registering/Delete ID Code(s) 7. Open driver's door, (remain seated in driver's seat) 8. Close driver's door. 9. Press and release any button on the remote you wish to register into the system. The status LED will shut off momentarily to indicate that one ID code has been registered. 10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 to register the remaining three ID codes. Exiting Code-Learning Mode 11. Open driver's door, and exit from vehicle, leaving the door opened. 12. Close trunk. 13. Close driver's door. The LED will turn off and the siren will "chirp" twice. 14. The initialization procedure is now completed, test all remotes to confirm operation. It is possible for the system to memorize a total of four different ID codes. As a new code is initialized into memory, the oldest code in memory is automatically deleted. If you had lost your remotes and wished to delete the lost remote ID codes from memory, you could initialize the ID code from a newly purchased replacement transmitter four times thereby deleting the previous ID codes from system memory.

I was going to be in possession of the tools, but alas, many of the required tools are NLA... You definitely need them to remove the seals inside the rack. New sources should have me looking into this project once again as perhaps the source I was going through was less than helpful or willing.
