#1. FS Complete Rear Interior - from Ahmad Lutfeali
Top
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 15:53:36 -0400 From: "Ahmad Lutfeali" <m3_racer99@hotmail.com> Subject: FS Complete Rear Interior Up for grab is a complete set (5 piece) E36 M3 (with stripes) rear fold down seat. This includes the two fold down seat backs, the base and the 2 side bolsters. To sweeten the deal, I will also throw in the 2 rear side panels and the center seat belts. Basically you are getting a complete black M3 interior sans the front seats and the front door panels. This came off a 98 with only 30~K and is in mint shape with no scratches, wear etc. The rear seats looks like they were hardly used. $350. Ahmad

I think the procedure was to start the engine, but not move the steering wheel, check fluid level, then start engine again and move wheel lock-to-lock, and re-check level. And in a lot less space than a 26-page PDF :-) Jim Bassett

I looked at one today at the stealer and there's an interesting circular piece at the bottom, but nothing that looked like a filter. Parts guys couldn't confirm that there was a filter inside either. Also, they quoted me the GTH Price of ~$70, which is strange because they give me everything else at ~%10-20 off list, depending on who I talk to. On realoem.com it's $42.69.

Possibly just a coincidence with that particular rotor. Regarding approval, it all seems weird to me, considering the Euro market seems to be considered more of a "heavy-duty" market, where the cars are subject to more high speed stress, etc, compared to the US. For them to be approved by the TUV (which I assume is true if the rotor is used on cars in Germany), and from what I have heard about TUV's standards being a bit more stringent than the DOT, that seems odd that they weren't allowed by default in the US.

Here in the states where most consumers thing brake rotors should last twenty years BMW went with the safer route. having said that, I toss my rotors as soon as any cracks are longer than 1/2". and brembos work just fine.

Yikes, thats kind of scary. I've used them for three years on the track now without issue, but I am pretty good about inspecting my brakes before going out there and the rotors are replaced annually. -- Jamie Howton 2000 M5 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL
