There are a couple rivets under the door trim that clips snap onto, and they hold the crossbars. With a Yakima rack, you have to rest footpads on the car, but it's not an issue for shorter lengths of time with the rack on (i.e. not leaving it on full time). Specifics depend on what kind of rig you're sailing. With two piece mast, I'd probably opt for a sail bag and put everything on top of the board. You can get multi holders for one piece masts. Sails will also fit in the back (up to 6.0s with seats folded). I usually tied down the board, then used separate ties to tie down sails just to be sure. If you're going to travel long distances with a nice (delicate) short board, I'd definitely suggest a padded bag to protect it from debris. You can buy pipe insulation at home depot instead of the fancy board pads, saves a bunch of $$$. On the other hand, if you're looking for a factory rack with no roof contact, I have a spare factory rack with a gear box that would hold sails (haven't checked the length for masts). My wife bought this one with her M3, but I'm used to the Yak, plus I have bike mounts, etc for it already.

A number of the classic car museums use: Dryer Sheets (Bounce, etc) Apparently rodents don't like the smell or taste...

I was rolling the the interstate today in my new-to-me 74 Pontiac convertible and a mouse climbed out of the defroster vent to enjoy the morning breeze. Before I could pull over and let him off (or maybe teach him to fly :^)) he went back down the vent. I would like to apply some repellant to chase him and any others off. Car does not smell like it has a mouse problem, so he may have just moved in. Anyone seen any products that work? OBMWC - The M3 gets a day off when the Pontiac sees duty, and is therefore also a potential mouse risk... Thanks, Paul Craven 97 M3/4 and a Pontiac Mousetransporter ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 15:34:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Hsu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: E36 roof rack Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I had a thule system when I had my E36. You can attach different adapters for mounting different things (ie bike, surfboard, etc) on the base rack. Not too expensive (cheaper than getting it from BMW (even cheaper used)).

The CEL on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee came on this weekend. I know I'm a bit off topic here, but the codes are Generic, so I'm hoping for a little "well if this were my BMW it would mean this". The codes (8 of them) are P0201-P0208, which translate into "Injector 1 Control Circuit", "Injector 2 Control Circuit", etc. The fact that it's complaining about all 8 injectors (V8 engine) makes me think that it's something bigger than an injector problem. The engine seems to be running a little rough, and seems like it's missing a bit occasionally when riding down the highway. These two syptoms started when the CEL came on (no surprise there, I suppose). TIA for any insight or educated guesses. By the way, does anyone know of a good Jeep digest like this one?

I love it. This weekend, I drove a friend's 04 325CiC. It felt crispier, and the suspension felt even tighter then my 330. It also felt lighter weight, but that could be because it doesn't have a roof (though I heard they are bottom heavy, right?) Also, it may have felt lighter because of the lesser weight of the engine? Again, I'm just guessing, w/o looking at the specs. It definitely felt underpowered compared to my 330Ci. But I'm mostly interested in the suspension difference. Do you guys know if the sports suspension was improved after 01? Thanks in advance --- Ziv. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 21:04:42 -0500 From: "Malcolm Reitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Sports Suspension differences between '01 and current Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I would suspect that one thing you are feeling is the 3-year difference in age between the two cars. Time and miles will wear on your car's suspension and loosen it up.
