Doh, forgot those details :) The damage was: bumper, muffler, brake and fuel lines bent, and the passenger side undercarriage (front from sliding the car into the truck). The body shop says the frame is fine. The suspension was checked out and alignment was done by the dealer a block away. -- Adam Lazur

#3. Incorrect Check Coolant Message - from M540

Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 14:25:00 -0500 From: "M540" <m540@bellsouth.net> Subject: Incorrect Check Coolant Message All: Our 1995 M3 has a near-constant check coolant message, despite having plenty of coolant. I recently replaced the float sensor in the bottom of the coolant tank, but this did not correct the error. Can anyone point me towards other possible places I might find the problem?

Hi Group, This week I've noticed engine running cooler than normal (taking a while to come up to normal operating temperature). Sounds like it's time to replace the thermostat to me. I went to order one on-line, but noticed there are several available, each with different temperature ratings. I know I had this thread saved, but I can't find it, darn, so much for being organized! Which one should I use?? I bought the metal t-housing last year, just waiting for this event to happen, so that will be changed too. regards, Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe (sponsored by WCC, JT-Designs, and BimmerWorld) Philly Region SCCA 2005 Philly Region BSP Champion
