They all have had to be reverse engineered so miss stuff. A couple of weeks ago I started setting a CEL in my 00 M5. Read it and reset it a couple of times, a couple of times it reset itself. Every time I read it with the Peake I got 3 codes - "Exhaust camshaft position sensor 1-4", "Exhaust camshaft position sensor 5-8" and Exhaust camshaft VANOS position control 5-8". I knew there had to be only one fault and the rest were secondary. I took the car to my current favorite shop (European Performance) and their much more sophisticated and expensive equipment said "Exhaust cam position sensor bank 1". Replaced that sensor and all is well with the world. But for what it does tell me and the ability to reset the lights it was worth the $125 I paid for it.(used) Bill Matthews Hockessin DE 00 m Geeze Some Volvos Other cars > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ivan Demkovitch > Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 9:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [UUC] Peake code reader > > > Thanks guys. > > I have 97' 540i/6 and I'm DIY guy. > I think this tool a must for me.

In my case they were open transports. From WI to TN and TN to MO was around $425 each, CT to TN was around $600. They charge by the mile, but once loaded up a longer trip does not cost that much more. I would guess 300 miles would be $300? I did get the frequent customer discount last time :-) http://www.carmoving.com/mcnutt/ There are a ton of car movers - enclosed and open haulers, but McNutt is the only one I have personal experience with. The price is right because there is no set pickup or delivery date - if you can live with that you can save some money.

I've tried it and called Peake (prior to buying the tool) and was told it probably wouldn't. I ended up getting the "full" tool anyway, just because it pretty much only will take one problem to justify the extra $100 or whatever. YMMV of course. I do think that the usefulness is more limited on the ODBI cars like mine since the flash codes can also point you in the right direction. Still, I bought the full tool, so you know where I come down on the decision! :-) Mark ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2004 20:58:44 -0700 From: Steve Albrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: New M5 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AutoSpies had a really comprehensive five part report on the technical details of the new M5. It took over half an hour to read all of it as it was pretty well done with good (not great) detail. I suppose the 8,250 RPM redline is among the most impressive features. BMW NA had the new M5 flown to O'Fest for display. Very cool of them to do that. One of my friends and GGC Chapter member won the raffle for a ride with Bill Auberlin in the F1 McLaren. That's WAY cooler than gawking at an M5 IMHO. I'd give most anything for that ride!!!

The drifting was a sellout. I had to discourage a bunch of people from doing it but they keep coming back for more tickets. It was a life altering experience. Even if they just rode shotgun with Thacket, people were coming out with grins on their faces for hours. As far as the McLaren is concerned, one of our San Diego guys won in the raffle and rode with Boris driving. I took pictures. That thing was loud my ears were dripping afterwards. He said they were doing the chekane at 140 and the straightaways at 170. I was so jealous. Taking pictures was good enough for me. I got real close I even got to touch and close the door!!!

Dan Tackett's driving can make anyone smile even if it's just in a parking lot. For others' reference, a Z06 Corvette with R compounds would hit about 130 MPH on the straights (the banked oval) at California Speedway, and maybe 100 MPH in the chicane (my humble E46 328Ci with street tires does about maybe 115 on the oval, if I get out and pushed, and 90 out of the chicane). But I read elsewhere that Boris wasn't driving the car that hard because he said its tires weren't right for the track, and he had passengers. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 11:51:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Andre Yew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BMW CCA Raffle Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There's a short video of the M1 Pro car and the McLaren F1 at Oktoberfest here: http://www.binaryfarms.com/Videos/oFestRaceCars.wmv Some pictures here: http://members14.clubphoto.com/melanie580630/2455033/guest.phtml Despite some of the encoding artifacts, those cars sound awesome! --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 09:19:51 -0400 From: "Lorenzetti, Peter - BLS CTR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: S$$$ happens Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A possible solution is forming: 1) Only allow paid-for cars. 2) Manual trans only 3) ?

This means selling the M3. It is cosmos black with grey interior, luxury package with heated seats and CD changer. Stock other than the shark injector, redline fluids, and UUC tranny mounts and enforcers. Everything works, nothing leaks out, no dings, a few chips, recent maintenance. 110k miles, in Kansas City, $16000 negotiable. I would also be willing to trade for a 1990 or so 5spd Bimmer with similar miles and something around $10k depending on the car.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is time for the annual summer drive from mid-Tenn to Seattle in search of summer coolth and to haul several sets of BMW wheels . Having 'done' several different routes we are pondering the possibilities of heading 'up north' to Chicago to visit some of the supposedly outstanding museums in that area then pick up I90 and just burn westward ... So the question before the house is ....is Chicago worth the effort ? Are the museums really all that special or just over-hyped ? How convenient is it (and where to stay ??) to stay overnight 'in the 'burbs' and take public transport (the famous Ell ?) into town ? Off digest responses preferred ..save the bandwidth for scalawags to tell their tales of glory ... Bill & Shirley Proud Seattle Summers , Tennessee Winters .
