If that is too much of a hassle you should be able to find what you need here: _http://www.realoem.com/bmw/_ (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/) John Date: Sun, 8 May 2005 18:10:32 -0400 From: "Foley, Brian" <bfoley@cmpd.org> Subject: ETK Help Guys, Someone sent me the ETK as a ZIP file. I have unzipped it, but the instructions to access it are vague at best. Anyone know what program runs this thing? Excel? Word? Tips/hints/etc would be appreciated. Thanks! Brian Foley 97 M3/4

Then - depending on the version of the ETK (later ones were designed to run completely off the hard-drive, early ones required the "data" disk in the machine) do a search of the folders for SETUP.EXE (which will be in a subdirectory of \WIN95\.....\.....\ Run SETUP.EXE - it will install the BMW Sytem-Administrator program, which provides the database connectivity, and has a pulldown selection to install the ETK (and TIS if you happen to have it.) If it is the later one that was meant to be on 2 CD's - you can delete the installation directory after installing it. If it is the earlier one, which fit on on CD - you want to leave the installation directory on your drive since the program will access the data files from that directory rather than looking for a CD. Just did the ETK and TIS a few nights ago on my new computer.. so it was somewhat fresh in the memory.

#7. Recaro Seats - from Neil Maller
Top
Date: Sun, 08 May 2005 23:38:39 -0500 From: Neil Maller <neil.maller@gte.net> Subject: Recaro Seats I just picked up a nice pair of Recaro Speed seats (thanks Jeremy), successor model to the SRD and very similar. They came with the matching sliders and TC Kline mounts. The latter have a welded tab for mounting a normal seatbelt receptacle, but I understand that the stock E36 front assembly won't fit due to the bulk of its pretensioner mechanism. Apparently one option is to transplant the rear seat belt receptacles to the front. My car has a rollbar, which precludes carrying passengers back there anyway, so the rears could certainly be made available. It would be nice to have front receptacles that are on a rigid stalk long enough to present them in the normal position and allow fastening the seatbelt with one hand. I haven't taken the rear seat out in a while so I just don't remember what the rear receptacle mounts are like. Anyone else with Recaro SRD/Speed seats BTDT, have a better or alternate solution for using the stock lap/diagonal seatbelt? In addition the Recaros have a sewn in slot for a harness sub-strap. My present Schroth sub-strap mounting method using stock seats won't work with the new seats, so I need to come up with convenient and safe attachment points. For, err, anatomical reasons I prefer to stay with a 6-point harness, but guess I could go with 5 if necessary (gulp!). Again, anyone BTDT? Perhaps this is as straightforward as drilling some more holes in the floorpan and using eyebolts into SCCA reinforcing plates?
