Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK, BP SM page 130-19, Figure 28 is completely wrong for my M50 motor's intake runner - there is NO IAT sensor where that arrow is. In fact, I see no IAT anywhere on the intake runner. There is something that looks a little like an IAT stuck into the inner backside of my stock air filter box, but that gold thing has two ?coolant? hoses connected to either side of it - no wires anywhere. Any idea where my IAT is? My 1993 325i was manufactured in 09/1993.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Your intake air temperature sensor is located on the bottom of the intake plenum between #5 and #6 runners.

The amount of camber change (gain) when you turn the wheel. I suppose a control arm position change could result in an ever-so-slight change in the static camber, but don't expect much there. Maybe a 1/10 of a degree at the very most I'd guess. The dynamic effects of caster changes are where the camber advantage comes in. Turn the steering wheel to the right and the left front wheel gains negative camber which helps cornering. The car can tolerate more static camber and neutral toe if there is increased caster before it becomes twitchy. You can counter the 'slower steering' from increased caster with slight toe changes and still gain the dynamic camber effects. By the way, if you do opt for the offset bushing, make sure you check the toe settings as well after installation!
