Shephard" <kents@kls-consulting.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] was E46 M3 brakes on an E36 M3 - now E46 M3 CP brakes Hi, After doing some research there are numerous kits that are better than the E46 comp and either cheaper or about the same. I found a Wilwood Kit for less than the E46 Brakes - Don't know much else. I did see the kit on a project car and saw the writeup. http://www.rpiequipped.com/store/c192104.2.html I've also seen some Porsche kits for about $1400 or so. So I guess the upgrade is a real BBK like you said. All this because I was wondering about front end shake.

#5. Passenger window seal - from Jeremy Conners
Top
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 18:39:15 -0400 From: "Jeremy Conners" <jeremy.conners@comcast.net> Subject: Passenger window seal I tore my second coupe passenger window seal. The seal was replaced 5 years ago. I thought that it tore initially due to lack of conditioning, so I've made sure to take care of the seals with Gummipflege (sp?) ever since. Now I'm thinking that the passenger window pre-load is too high. My question is: Does anyone know where I can get a replacement at a decent price? I'd even consider a used seal as they are expensive. Thanks, Jeremy

Or StopTechs. :-) The Brembo replacement parts alone make the StopTechs worthwhile. ~$200 vs ~$350 rotors, ~$200 vs ~$500 hats, StopTech includes new hardware for rotors, Brembo doesn't +$85. Easy choice if you ask me. Carlos 98 M3

I don't like to get in the habit of answering my own questions, but futher thought on this one leads me to believe that I may have an O2 sensor going bad. Given that the pump itself works fine, I'm thinking that the code is being set because the sensor cannot sense the proper flow levels, not because it isn't there...thoughts? Anybody know how to test an O2 sensor? Shane K. '96 M3 '94 325i <--- new engine goes in Saturday __________________________________ Yahoo!
