#2. Rotors - from Alex Demsky

Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 13:19:04 -0400 From: "Alex Demsky" <hyper_m3@hotmail.com> Subject: Rotors Seen a few posts about pads but Im inquiring about rotors. Currently my fronts have worn down but the pads are still about 80%. Im not going to do any track days and if I ever make it to an auto-x again it will be maybe once or twice. So Im not looking for the best or biggest brakes to put there. I was looking into ATE, Powerslot and Brembo rotors. All seem to be in a decent price range for OEM size. What in your opinions is the most viable option and where can I get it? Should I go ahead and change my pads at the same time too even if they still have about 80% left?

#4. Need speaker cover for front right top tweeter - from Goss, Patrick - PA

Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:38:26 -0500 From: "Goss, Patrick - PA" <Patrick.Goss@GMACM.COM> Subject: Need speaker cover for front right top tweeter http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CD93&mospid=47504&btnr=65_ 0281&hg=65&fg=20 Based on the above am I correct in thinking that it's not available unless you order #7, so basically you have to buy 2 factory speakers to get the grill ~95 bucks? I've searched various places such as pelican and zygmunt, to find it's not listed. I just have a simple crack and now chip out of the edge of one, can't justify paying this kind of price for merely a speaker grill. Does anybody have one lying around? Somebody likely upgraded or ditched them from their dedicated track car I am hoping. Prefer black, but guess I 'could' paint but would rather not. I have the upgraded HK package if that makes a difference, and it's the top most tweeter grill that is needed. Yes the chip looks ratty and I can't stand it.

I've been using Brembos on the M3, and IIRC used some Powerslot ones on the (departed) 328is. > What in your opinions is the most viable option and where can I get it? Short of having a local suggestion (don't know where you live :-)), check with one of the list sponsors at the bottom of this (or any) post. > Should I go ahead and change my pads at the same time too even if they > still > have about 80% left? That would seem unnecessary, wouldn't it? :-) Cheers, Jim Bassett

Another possibility is that the spring has worn out (my M3 seems plagued with this :-)). The spring is fairly-easily replaced.

I haven't yet gone about replacing the spring, but with the door closed, and I push on the door at the top and bottom of the hinge, it closes proper and stay shut. Jim's idea of replacing the spring is probably a much better idea. I didn't even realize it until I saw picture of me at Thunderhill with the door swinging open on any left turn. Of course, now I tell people that I was going so fast, even the fuel door was hanging on for mercy. :) Drive Safely, Raza
