I'd settle for some modular connectors that attach nicely to the back of the gauges, assuming there is such a monster. I can cut/strip/crimp my own wire. Last time I installed gauges in an E36 I used generic connectors from Radio Shack. Worked well, but wasn't very serviceable the few times I had to r-n-r it.

I have one in my 332 and its matte finish matches the interior nicely. For that $80 you receive an OEM sunglass-holder pod with the back cleanly removed and this panel epoxied to the front. -Richard On 5/18/07, Jim Bassett <jim@jimbassett.com> wrote: > > Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 11:00:52 -0700 (PDT) > From: "Jim Bassett" <jim@jimbassett.com> > Subject: Re: [E36M3] Eastern Motorworks departure....was FS: VDO gauges > > On Fri, May 18, 2007 8:15 am, Carlos Lopez said: > >> I'll check when I get home tonight. > > > > OK and....? :-) > > :-P~ When Chester(?) posted Jamie's info, my research seemed redundant. > > > I don't know who makes the panels but I put my own together using a 3 > > hole plate I bought from Jamie ($30) and it was a pain in the arse.

One of each. One is metallic the other is some sort of compressed fiber. Here is a picture of the fiber gasket: <http://www.activeautowerke.com/exhaust/components/main-2.jpg> I recently purchased all the exhaust hardware and hangers to install the aftermarket exhaust I got over Easter from BimmerWorld.

#7. Front bumper help - from Shelhart2@aol.com
Top
Date: Sun, 20 May 2007 20:05:42 EDT From: Shelhart2@aol.com Subject: Front bumper help My wife was driving the M3 today while I hauled the baseball team to the playoffs. She forgot she wasn't driving the sport ute and drove over the curb stop. Once she realized it she backed up and ripped part of the lower bumper. No other damage thankfully. I just finished putting everything back together (new aluminum rad / AC system, etc.)... Question: I'm now in need of bumper. I've seen the rieger ones and various other iterations. Ideas on options? Anyone have something interesting for sale? Shel 1995 M3 coupe Hellrot Orlando, Fl ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
