You'd have to be willing to come to PA. For locals it was at the corner of 611 and Horsham road at a used exotic car dealership. Recent sent of kumhos on stock 10 spokes. It had a UUC exhaust and the original comes with as I was told. I didn't get under the hood and can't tell if it had other modifications or was stock. Dealer was starting pricing at 20K for this consignment car. Willing to test drive and report for distant buyers, it's just down the street from my office.

#2. storing r-compound tires - from mdriver13@aol.com

Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:27:34 -0500 From: mdriver13@aol.com Subject: storing r-compound tires Hi Group, I always store my racing tires in the basement (I have one), covered in black plastic -- this seems to work well for me. I have always wondered about tire pressure when storing. What's the consensus here? Should they be stored with say only 10psi, at 30 psi, or 45 psi ?? Let's not get into special gases...like Nitrogen, Argon, or Hydrogen (Kaboom) ;-)) cheers, Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe Philly Region SCCA 2005/2006 Philly Region BSP Champion Sponsored by Wheel Collision Center & Rogue Engineering ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

I'm not limiting my search to e36 chassis cars though. By CPO, I was thinking something along the lines of a 330i ZHP or something similar. I'm resigned to the fact that I will probably end up in something other than an "M" car. :( Thanks, Tucker --- Paul L Fisher <bmw@paul-fisher.com> wrote: > You will not find an E36 still under CPO if that is > what you are looking > for. > > Paul L Fisher > > 2000 M Roadster E36/7 S52 Cosmos Black Metallic > 1989 325ix E30 M20 Cinnabar Red > > Become a BMW CCA Member! > > Elkhorn, WI. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tucker Ryals [mailto:tuckerryals@yahoo.com] > Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 9:45 PM > To: E36M3 > Subject: [E36M3] WTT: My '95 M3 for your 4-door > > Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2006 19:37:12 -0800 (PST) > From: Tucker Ryals <tuckerryals@yahoo.com> > Subject: WTT: My '95 M3 for your 4-door > > Gruppe, > > Due to life circumstances (2 kids in car seats now) > and new job circumstances (moved into a role with > quite a bit of highway travel and client > entertaining), I am looking to move into a four door > from my ’95 M3.

I haven't been able to access it in the archives as it is too new (?). I am presently having a similar issue to the low temp gauge reading. In my case, it was fine and consistent slightly below the center (vertical) line. After a cooling system service (thermostat, coolant pump, hoses, sensor for the fuel injection on the coolant rail, etc.), I now have a reading which is consistent but considerably lower on the gauge. The engine definitely gets hot (mechanic used a infrared temp monitoring device: about 90 C at the thermostat, slightly hotter at the rail, heater output about 60 C with fan full power, heat full on and measured at side vent of dashboard). I wonder if the temperature sending unit (also on the coolant rail?) may have been disturbed and no longer reads correctly. Does anyone know the resistance through the sending unit at normal operating temp and cold so that I can check for proper operation? Any other ideas? Thanks for thoughts!

#9. Lazy drivers seat - from Shelhart2@aol.com
Top
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2006 22:04:49 EST From: Shelhart2@aol.com Subject: Lazy drivers seat My drivers seat on the 95 M3 appears to have lost its rigidity on the left side. Almost like someone put all their weight into the left side of the seat when they got out over the years. It is evident it is "weakened" when taking a corner. I've taken the seats out before to replace electri motors in my 98 but have never fully taken the seat apart from a structural standpoint. Is there any specific weak points that go bad that I can replace to "stiffen up"? Shel 1995 M3 2002 Boxster S
