Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2007 20:11:48 +0000 From: m.michalski@comcast.net Subject: Part for Sale Good Afternoon Guys, I have a BRAND NEW OEM E36 M3 2DR Coupe Left DOOR SEAL (Gray) for sale. I had ordered the wrong color and the dealership would not take a return on a special order part. So, I guess my loss is you gain! I paid over $250.00 with the club discount! I am hoping to get at least $175.00 for it. Shipping will be whatever it cost's to send it to you, however you would like. I am not looking to charge an amount other than the true cost. Feel free to email off list if interested at m.michalski@comcast.net Michael 97 ///M3 Windy City BMWCCA

The C350 was obviously way out of its league with the DTM and CLK. I checked the weight on the C350 and at about 3450 lbs, it was somewhat lighter than I was expecting, but not enough power to really liven things up. Street cars look so slow on the track. -----Original Message----- From: Jay L.

We've supported the engine by putting support under the tranny.

I have enough steel laying around here I should be able to fab a simple e36 specific holder pretty easily.
