Sounds like the evaporative canister purge valve is hard mounted to the left
frame rail. There was a service action to install a rubber bushing on
customer complaint of a lifter-like noise that was not rpm dependent.

I was wondering in the state of Texas is it mandatory that I have a front
license plate on my bimmer if have one on the back? I've found this plate
that I dearly love that I want on the front. Anyone know this policy? Thanks
very much in advance.

Yes TX requires a front plate. I don't know how enthusiastic they are about
enforcing it.
TX Transportation Code section 502.404 states:
§ 502.404. OPERATION OF VEHICLE WITHOUT LICENSE PLATE OR
REGISTRATION INSIGNIA. (a) A person commits an offense if the
person operates on a public highway during a registration period a
passenger car or commercial motor vehicle that does not display two
license plates, at the front and rear of the vehicle, that have
been:
(1) assigned by the department for the period; or
(2) validated by a registration insignia issued by the
department that establishes that the vehicle is registered for the
period.
(b) A person commits an offense if the person operates on a
public highway during a registration period a passenger car or
commercial motor vehicle, other than a vehicle assigned license
plates for the registration period, that does not properly display
the registration insignia issued by the department that establishes
that the license plates have been validated for the period.
(c) A person commits an offense if the person operates on a
public highway during a registration period a road tractor,
motorcycle, trailer, or semitrailer that does not display a license
plate, attached to the rear of the vehicle, that has been:
(1) assigned by the department for the period; or
(2) validated by a registration insignia issued by the
department that establishes that the vehicle is registered for the
period.
(d) Subsections (a) and (b) do not apply to a dealer
operating a vehicle as provided by law.
(e) An offense under this section is a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine not to exceed $200.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.

I'm looking at buying an e30 M-Technic Cabriolet and am having trouble finding
specs on this car. Is is the same mechanically as the 325i with the only
difference being the body parts? Any and all info is appreciated even if it's
just a site dedicated to the M-Technic.
Thanks in advance.

Several years ago I bought my Hella E-code headlights from Susquehanna
Motorsports. They were about $45 per lamp plus shipping. They do an
IMPRESSIVE packing job! I replaced the H4 bulbs in the outer lamps with
Sylvania (Osram) Extravision 9003 bulbs. They have a much better center
hot spot than Hella's H4s.

hey gruppe, i'm gonna help a friend do an oil change on her 2000 323Ci this
weekend...i did my e36 m3 numerous times, but i never worked on an e46
before...
and it looks like i'll be picking up a 36mm socket for the oil filter
lid...on the reset lights, is it the same as in the E36, where i jump pins 7
and 19 on the connector? ( i dunno if hers can be reset with the odometer
reset button)...and i'm guessing, if hers does have the diagnostic
connector, it's the same one in my M3?
any other tips/websites/guides appreciated...thanx in advance!
