Bought a 98 but the radio is dead and am not looking forward to the 16 hour drive from FL to MD with no tunes. Also, the motor in the driver's seat that works the back recline doesn't work so I'd like to pick up a pair of seats in black if anyone has them in good shape. Thanks, Mike

I know of at least 3 other list members (myself included), who are running this. Cluck for buck is through the roof on this one! Design is unique placing extra support right where it is needed in the weak area where things normally fail.

#7. Exhaust Down Pipe Needed - from FranKirsten

Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2005 13:59:11 -0700 From: "FranKirsten" <frankirsten@msn.com> Subject: Exhaust Down Pipe Needed Hello All, I'm looking for an exhaust down pipe (the one from the cast exhaust manifolds to the catalytic converters) from a 95 M3 or later M3 model if they will fit a 1995 exhaust system. Can anyone confirm if other year M3s will fit the 1995 M3 exhaust system? If anyone has one lying around they want to get rid of please let me know how much you're asking. Thanks, Frank

#8. Peake Code: EA - Cat gone bad? - from twisty M3

Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2005 13:01:32 -0800 From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: Peake Code: EA - Cat gone bad? Last night on my drive home for an incredible three days of on-track action, I got a Check Engine light with a Peake Research code of: EA - "Catalyst Efficiency below threshold" Cylinders 4-6 The car is a '99 with about 154K miles. There has been some recent rattling, which seems to be coming internally from one of the cats. Should I take this to mean that it's time to replace my cats? What sort of run condition will it cause to drive with them as-is temporarily? Lean? Rich? Neither? If it is actually time to replace them, is it best to change the 02 sensors at the same time? Thanks! Jonathan

Anyone have a link to a good installation how-to? Would be appreciated. Anyone here have one of these shifters? Like it? I'm really hoping it is wife friendly. She will go ballistic if it is a notchy, high effort shifter compared to stock like the B&M ripper in my C5. Dave > They both require some effort. > No screws or glue.
