Want to replace these parts and it looks like they have either came as one piece or have become one over years of service... Thanks and Happy Holidays, Karl 89 325i 95 M3 01 740i

#5. OT: Ghostrider chasing M Coupe - from Dave Thomas

Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:17:45 -0800 From: Dave Thomas <dave@sasdatalink.com> Subject: OT: Ghostrider chasing M Coupe Some of you may have seen this since the link was indirectly posted to the UUC list by someone selling a M Coupe but I dig the video at the bottom of the article so much that I thought I should share it. Good article on the M Coupe as well. I always liked those cars...even saw a prototype sneaking around So Cal long before they were introduced. Now that was an odd car to just see out of the blue... Anyway..here is the url: http://jalopnik.com/cars/jalopnik-fantasy-garage/first-generation-bmw-m-coupe-258496.php Great demo on the proper method of driving a M car ;-) Dave

I have an 80 ohm vdo gauge with a sender + oil distribution block located behind the oil filter housing where the stock "idiot" sensor goes. On idle I typically run 13 psi, and under normal highway type conditions I think I am around 40-50, maybe 60 under harder acceleration and/or higher engine speeds. The distribution block has a sender for the oil temp but I haven't gotten around to getting a gauge for it just yet. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all.

I bought it online (no return oh well). I should have checked before I bought. I only paid $25. Anyone interested in a free 150PSI VDO Vision gauge?? I'm going to pick up the 80PSI gauge. I like the better resolution of a lower reading gauge. My readings are above 11psi at idle as indicated by the VDO sender idiot light. Off idle just a bit it's above 30. Under hard driving it's a little above 60PSI. These readings are at oil temp f about 200-220. Thanks, Kent I think I'll pick up the 90PSI max.
