Typcially around $300, and includes OE impact strips and fog light hardware. The bottom lip is integral, and can be painted (Duplicolor Bumper Black) to look original. I've purchased two recently (don't ask) and they're great. > > -------------------- 7 -------------------- > 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.

#2. Dyno Graphs for my e36 M3 - from Daniel Lowe

Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 14:59:33 -0400 From: "Daniel Lowe" <blackjackbimmer@gmail.com> Subject: Dyno Graphs for my e36 M3 Can someone help diagnose why my car lost power between the 2 dyno runs below? Thanks. The dyno runs are 2 years apart and weather was about 30 degrees warmer for the second run. First run had UUC TSE exhaust, Conforti chip and Euro cold air intake with stock injectors. Injectors went wide open around 5800 rpm. Second run had newer motor (after money shift), upgraded cams, 26lb injectors, same UUC exhaust, UUC lightened pulleys, UUC lightened flywheel, Conforti chip, Euro MAF and cold air intake. Second run made 2 more hp and lost 5 torque but the air/fuel mixture was about right. Guys at the shop think it's VANOS messing things up. I have no idea. I know it's faster through the gears and you can really feel the cams kick in at 4k rpm. My mechanic says it's the best running and smoothest '95 M3 he's driven. Regards, Dan

#10. Secondary Air System Pump right? - from Stefano G
Top
Date: Sun, 27 May 2007 11:02:36 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stefano G" <stefanoale@excite.com> Subject: Secondary Air System Pump right? The car just threw 2 codes: F5 Secondary air system flow too low, Cyl #1-3 F6 Secondary air system flow too low, Cyl #4-6 The "Secondary Air System Pump" was making all kinds of noises for a month or so and then quited down a day or 2 prior to the engine codes. So I'm pretty sure that's the culprit but I figured I'd post here in case it's a sign for something coming or such... Also the best price I found is ~$270 wow that's a lot more than I expected for an air pump, there may be more sensors in there that I don't know but ok... Anyone has any good idea to find something cheaper? TIA Stefano '98 M3 dirty at start-up... _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
