I must have tossed my copy when I did mine last year and the radiator on my brother's '97 328is just went this evening. He should have taken me up on my offer to replace it for him this past Christmas when I was out visiting! Now he gets to go it alone. I'd appreciate it! Kurt J. Resener DISCLAIMER Important!

I don't have the part number but yes there is, I believe the metal is a little bit thicker as well. I'm sure a good welder could handle this but get one that is used to this type of repair. I took mine to a highly recommended body shop here in the Detroit area and it cost between $400-500. I stripped the trunk for them though in hopes of reducing the labor charge. I'm sure in other parts of the country it'll be more expensive, I'm guessing $600-800 hopefully not more. -Carlos.

AFAIK - the temp gauge is driven by the engine ECU, which is programmed to only show deviation from normal when things are very very abnormal (as someone at BMW's M division said "We show you what we want to show you..") I think the real answer is a secondary sender/gauge - if the wide fluctuations don't upset you.. also possible would be a computer readout device hooked to the diagnostics port - since you can read out the actual coolant temp on that port with a BMW specific code reader.

I suspected the part I didn't replace, rear trailing arm bushings or rear subframe bushings. But in a matter of a few days it went from light to broken. The passenger rear shock mount broke free of the mount and ripped both bolt holes out and part of the center hole. There's plenty of metal left. If I hammer and twist the metal back into position and then use a reinforcement plate is it likely to hold or am I signing up for disaster. I can have it welded but I'd like to avoid that. I can snap pictures if people really need to see that, but just imagine a pretty bad case scenario. The center ring is broken on one side and pulled all the way to that bolt hole. The other bolt hole the nut just ripped right through. It's a really awful feeling seeing my M in this kind of pain. PS: I did everything to spec, I have no idea why it broke. The drivers side is fine. My guess is cracking due to age and stress over time. Thanks, Mark

#10. Removing pulley from alternator - from Matthew Teel

Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 18:50:59 -0800 From: "Matthew Teel" <mteel@beluga.com> Subject: Removing pulley from alternator So what's the trick to removing the pulley on a Valeo alternator? I was trying to avoid pulling the alternator completely, but since I can't get an impact wrench on it and I can't keep the alternator from rotating when I torque on the 24mm nut with a breaker bar, I'm at a loss as to how to beat this thing into submission. Any thoughts? Matthew 98 M3/4

Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 10:00:51 -0400 From: Mark D <mdlkml@atari-source.com> Subject: RE: [E36M3] RSM Serious Problem Scott, OEM shocks. I did a cursory look over the shock and found that it seems to extend and compress ok but I won't know until I pull it from the car. What I believe could have happened is that the mounting bolts backed themselves out due to being reused and perhaps they aren't supposed to be reused. Maybe they weren't torqued down hard enough. This created some movement which gave a nice jackhammer effect which ripped the shock through and already old and weakened mount. I never thought _I_ would be the bad mechanic who screws up my car ;) Thanks, Mark On Mon, 2006-06-26 at 16:37 -0700, Scott wrote: > What kind of shocks were you using?

#12. help sorting out brake noise - from Evan Bradford
Top
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 07:37:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Evan Bradford <evbrad2002@yahoo.com> Subject: help sorting out brake noise First, I apologize for the length of this post but hoped the details might prevent bogging the board down with suggestions that I have already tried. Thanks in advance for reading. I am currently running Zimmerman blanks in the rear and Brembo blanks in the front with Performance Friction Carbon Metallic street Pads (not the Z-type). I use the Zeckhausen bedding method. I do not track my car. I drive enthusiastically but not abusively (to the car or other motorists) or even "at the edge." Approximately 6k trouble-free miles after installing the rears, and before installing new fronts, I developed a groaning/rubbing sound when applying the brakes. It was difficult to tell whether it was coming from the front or rear as it seemed to resonate throughout the cabin so I figured it was the fronts on the way out and replaced them. The sound persisted, so I figured it must be the rears. I was concerned that I may have some pad deposits on the rears so had them lightly resurfaced to remove pad deposits and check runout and then re-bedded. The sound persisted. To rule out pad problem, I swapped rear pads under warranty. The sound persisted. I then rebuilt the calipers for good measure (100k on the car) and bled the brakes using ATE super blue fluid. The sound persisted. I am now wondering if, despite attempting to follow the bed-in procedures carefully, I thermally shocked my rear rotors during the bedding-in process, resulting in cementite hot spots, which eventually made themselves known. The brakes do get noisier as they heat up. Also, FWIW, when I received the new rotors, the cardboard from the box had apparently gotten wet and stuck to the rotors in a few spots with some rusting. I cleaned them and removed the residue but wondered if this might have predisposed the rotors to hotspots. I also read a post by a fellow that had worked at autozone stating that his experience was that Performance Friction pads tend to be noisy, often requiring the rotor be burnished/prepared before intalling and bedding to keep them quiet. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm this? Before I spend more money and time trying new rear rotors, I wanted to see if anyone could provide any experience based suggestions. Try new rotors first, then new type of pad or other? I am thinking the sound comes from the rear due to the deductive sequence described above, but still not 100%...very difficult to tell due to the way the sound resonates. Thanks for taking the time to read through this lengthy post! Any help will be appreciated. Evan '98 M3 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

#15. Brake Cooling Duct install? - from Tom Tice
Top
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 21:13:41 -0400 From: "Tom Tice" <tetice@triad.rr.com> Subject: Brake Cooling Duct install? I found some posts from quite some time ago with useful tips on installing a brake cooling kit. Included in those posts was a tip from Neil Maller and Steve Grigory indicating an improved installation method for the hoses and flanges on the wheel well liner which leaves the stock brake ducting supported on both ends. Neil's post suggested using this method on a standard E36 325. So I have two questions. 1) Will this work on my car - I'm installing this on my '93 325i but it has an M3 front bumper cover so it should behave more like an M3 and 2) Does anyone have a picture of this installation. I'm not crystal clear of exactly how to cut the stock ducts for the 3 inch hoses? TIA, Tom Tice '98 M3/4 '93 325iS -looking forward to cooler brakes '02 325iT/5 '02 X5 4.4

The rear shock tower sheet metal, which handles the full force of the shock absorber, has fatigued and broken allowing the RSM to pull through and you're asking if you could maybe just bend and hammer it back in place!? > Could a competent local welder install this properly? Yes, any competent automotive body shop could do this. Consider having both done, it won't cost twice as much if repaired at the same time. You need parts #16 and 17 here: <http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BG93&mospid=47488&btnr=41_094 2&hg=41&fg=25> Then use the Z3 reinforcement plates, or similar as supplied with the better aftermarket RSM's.

#17. Ringing sound from main belt - from Matthew Teel
Top
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 06:33:29 -0800 From: "Matthew Teel" <mteel@beluga.com> Subject: Ringing sound from main belt I just completed replacing my cooling components last night... rad, pump, t-stat/housing etc. Included with that I installed under drive pulleys. Now I am experiencing an obnoxious, intermittent ringing sound. When I first started the car it was quite loud and I shut the engine off immediately. After inspecting everything and rechecking the torque of all the hardware, I went ahead and fired the engine back up and completed bleeding the system. Went for a test drive, and the ringing was still there. I had the car idling while I re-bled the cooling system, and suddenly the ringing stopped. I decided to take a little test drive and went into town. No ringing after ten or so miles, so I continued on until I eventually returned home. The engine bay was silent, so I left the car idling in the driveway while I swept and mopped the garage floor. The electric fan turned on and everything was still OK, so I was thankful that it had sorted itself out. Then... it just started ringing again for no apparent reason. Everything is tight and properly torqued, the pulleys are all aligned properly and spinning true. Belt tension appears normal and the idlers are quiet and spin smoothly by hand. The ringing has a steady tempo to it, so I placed a chalk mark on the nut where the mechanical fan once resided, then placed a flash light on it to see if I could determine if that was the pulley that was culprit. It certainly wasn't foolproof, but from what I can perceive, the ringing was happening in synch with the revolutions of the water pump pulley. I installed the Stewart Components water pump. Looked like a fantastic piece of hardware when came out of the box... but now I am suspicious that this is the culprit. Had anyone experienced something like this? Is anyone else running the Eurosport under-drive pulleys? Matthew 98 M3/4
