#2. Great customer service - from Glenn Halperin

In November my original 9 year old radiator failed. Good thing I was only going 5 mph and close to home when it failed. I installed a new radiator, purchased from Bimmerworld as part of their cooling system overhaul kit. The replacement radiator was defective and leaked. The only problem was I purchased this kit 12/2004 to replace my factory installed radiator before it failed. It ended up lasting another 2 years. A call to Bimmerworld and a replacement was on its way. It pays to purchase from a list sponsor. On a side note, I also removed the ASC with a new Throttle Body hose from Bimmerworld. It seems to have more power now. Thank you, Glenn Halperin '98 M3/4 '88 M3 JP

#8. FS: 1995 M3, low mileage, excellent condition - from Tucker Ryals

Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 06:55:34 -0800 (PST) From: Tucker Ryals <tuckerryals@yahoo.com> Subject: FS: 1995 M3, low mileage, excellent condition Gruppe, After an unsuccessful bid to trade for my car for a four door, I am now going to sell it. Pasted below is my original email, offering details on the car and the price. It is not listed anywhere but here at this point. 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. As much as I love my car, it is difficult having a coupe now. Some quick specs on my car: - Hellrot over black (luxury model) - Paint is very good, leather is very good - 73k miles - A few mods (AA intake, larger throttle body, AA track pipe, AA 3rd gen exhaust, AA short shift, Dinan strut bar) - No track time (1 auto-x) - Staggered M contours, Goodyear F1's with ~2k miles - BMW synthetic oil, Redline fluids otherwise - In exceptional condition - $15,500 Pics available upon request.

#9. Lumbar support - from Russ Doucet

I have had severe back issues lately, and lumbar support would help. Has anyone ever added lumbar support, powered or not, to manual seats? Any thoughts on how easy/hard it might be? -Russ.

What I've done on the M3 (and the previous 328is) was to simply add some padding in the lumbar area of the seat. I used carpet padding (non-compressible) and "simply" peeled back the seat back leather and inserted the padding. (I say "simply", but it's a bit involed and the hog-rings are a PITA if you don't have a set of hog-ring pliers. But it's do-able.) Jim Bassett
