Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Not sure if this is all in my head... but lately I feel like I hear more of my fan (the belt-driven one). I can still turn it when the engine is OFF (clutch is still free), but still, I feel like it's screaming more at higher revs. Do these clutches wear with time and lose some of their play? Is there anything I should/could do to R&R? - Kevin Jay '96 328is, red/tan, 95K, usual H&R/Bilstein setup, a few M3 parts too '02 X5 3.0, white/tan, 35K, bone stock ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 09:41:04 -0400 From: "Russell Highton Jr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: will e34 M5 17" wheel fit on e46 M3 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a friend with an e46 M3, just got a flat and is stranded... can my full size spare (Stock e34M5 wheel) fit on his car front or rear?

I'll replace the clutch (getting set to do belts and idler pulleys anyway, good timing:).

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So as I'm getting set to R&R belts/pulleys and now my fan too, I'm wondering if this might also be a convenient time to replace the radiator (what I have now is a radiator.com part purchased in 2002, maybe 50K miles). I've seen recomendations for a Zionsville all-aluminum unit... but at $482, I'm wondering if there might be a less-expensive (but long-lasting) option? Alloembmwparts lists (not in stock) what they call "HIGH QUALITY OEM REPLACEMENT RADIATOR -- Direct Fit, Manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty" for $236... and the picture seems to show a unit with metal tanks. Anybody got any experience? - Kevin Jay '96 328is, red/tan, 95K, usual H&R/Bilstein setup, a few M3 parts too '02 X5 3.0, white/tan, 35K, bone stock ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 12:43:24 -0400 From: "Rob Levinson * UUC Motorwerks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: The recent flavor of spam Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm sure most of you have seen this new type of spam e-mail where there is random text used to fool spam filters while the real spam message shows up as a graphic image. Some of the random text is quite amusing, you sort of think it's drawn from ancient Victorian novels. Enclosed is the latest bit. - Rob ============================================================= No, Araipu replied; I read it in a book Parson Sea Foam brought fromTahiti. Then we launched Araipus canoe andbrought it round to the trading station. The causeway is six feet high, six wide, and about three hundred yards long. The trading station is in Central Village. The sunlight reflected from the sand hurts my eyes. When our sail wasset and we had moved a few yards from the beach there was a greatscreaming ashore.

And so we did, Araipu betimes giving me some further details concerningJosephs brethren. Amoment later the vicar and I followed with the leisurely dignity befittingstrangers. Now she has claimed him: he is happily lostforever. I felt her to be an old friend who had come to mefor security and sleep. Well walk this way and come up to the village from the lagoon beach. Now and then I pass adeserted hut, and taro beds bordered by banana plants and gardenia bushes. Note how the coconut fronds and the pandanus leaves are flung outhorizontally in the wind.
