I've heard this in my car as well (E45 328Ci), and it turned out to be a broken clip that held the plastic panel below the steering column. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 11:32:52 -0800 (PST) From: Vern Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Kill switch location Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sorry for all of the Club Racing questions, I'm also posting these to the BMWCCA CR forums, just not sure how active that forum is. Second CR question - anyone care to share any good advice on how/where to mount a kill switch in an 98 E36 M3/2? Car will remain street legal (just not very streetable) and SCCA Solo SM legal for a another year or so. Complete front interior still intact (minus airbags :), race seats, TCKline cage. Haven't mounted the window net yet. Installing fire system, so I'll need to make sure that stays powered even when the kill switch is activated. Would like the kill switch to be accessable to me when belted in if possible. Switch needs to be mounted or able to be moved to the inside of the car so the windows can be rolled up and the car locked. Should be able to figure out something, just don't want to re-invent the wheel if someone out there has already done it. Thanks!

OK, here goes - I'm installing a FireCharger fire system (http://thedynoshop.net/firecharger.htm) in my 98 M3 IP car, and was wondering if anyone has any mounting/install advice. And for that matter, if anyone has any experience with that system (it's great, it sucks, whatever). Thanks!

You can reach them from above, or if you have removed the undertray they are easy to get to from below. - Greg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Well the Bentley came in today (good price and special on Hanes too from > Amazon), but there is no indication of where the horns are.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What's the point of the car? That would significantly influence what you buy....... The nice thing about E30's is that they are super-sturdy, durable, last-forever & a day no matter how hard you beat them cars. That being said, $10k will buy you 2 really nice E30s. Furthermore, $10k will buy you a lot of nice cars without the blue & white propeller too.....

It's an emulsifier and is pretty safe. Works well on carpets too. If you need to use an organic solvent, you could try orange oil (d-limonene) or something like 3M adhesive remover -- just be sure to test an inconspicuous area first.

Apply the iron to the towel until the wax just melts, then pull the iron away. The paper towel should soak up the wax.

Thanks Karl 91 535 FS 93 525 parts car 87 325 racecar Karl, What kind of @ss lets a beautiful e34 in loverly island grun get crayon on the seats?!? I have read that there is a product called 'OilFlo' that should werk. Unless it's pink, then there is nothing you can do. And it's definately crayon. Don't ask about under the seat. CSI stuff, and don't bring luminol near that badboy, it'll glow like it's neon.

I have a fairly nice 535i, 5-speed manual with numerous modifications. All suspension has been gone through with new M5 sway bars, Koni shocks, Eibach springs, upper and lower control arms, center link, idler arm and pitman arms. Has E34 M5 brakes with new rotors and mintex pads. E34 M5 wheels 8's and 9's(bare) with new tires. Hartge strut brace and exhaust. Short shifter, new clutch, Turner chip, Mustang injectors, 3.5 bar FPR and Business CD. Probably has more than that but who can remember. I bought the car a little over a year ago and all work has been done over the last year. This is a very strong runner and lots of fun to drive. This is a very good example of an E34 with all the nice modifications, all fresh and ready to play. Has 202k, black with natur tan leather. Compression is excellent, uses about 1/2 quart of oil over 2500 miles. Smogs very clean in CA. $6500 Firm.

Searchable and works like the reviews at places like Amazon.com. I've put a some stuff in there already for parts and things I used when building my E36 325is race car and I'm adding more as I think of it.
