When removing the panels on a E36 coupe with the side bags, there is a torx head screw behind the "SRS" plug. The plug has connection tabs on the 2 and 8 o'clock corners. 2. The regulator motors are permanent magnet type. When removing the motor housing, mark the facing side of the can so that you don't put it back on reversed. Otherwise the motor spins backward.

I guess by law the radio stuff gets crippled before they get sold, but they can be modified to use public frequencies. But the fun part was the siren/bullhorn piece that he would use to yell at bad drivers, hot chicks, etc. >When I was in college, in the mid/late '60s, a friend of mine wired >a PA system into his '55 Chevy, with speakers front and rear.

I need motor mount brackets anyone got some they don't need or know where I can get some for a good price? Also I'm converting to OBD 1 and all the info i found shows using the obd2 crankcase brether system with adapter tube and plates. Wouldn't it just be easier to get the obd1 parts OBD1 crank vent/ICV system and hoses and use those? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

It will save you a lot of time and money.

When M54s get hot, 95+% of the time not only does the head warp but so does the block. And the threads for the head studs in the block also strip out. By the time you're done fixing what you have (Even if you can) the labor and expense outweigh a replacement engine. I took a quick look on www.car-part.com and a salvage yard near Montreal was showing a 41k mile engine for $2,300! Usually they run $3,000-3,500 for a 3.0 Bill Steve & Barb Conner wrote: > I need to remove and service the head on a 2001 330 Ci that was overheated. > I have the Bentley manual and am partly into disassembly and I have a > question for someone who has done this.

How many miles, whats wrong with it after the overheat and just how hot did it get? I know of 1 that was ok with only a head gasket, new Quality water pump etc. and has been for a number of miles now. On the head - send it out to be done by a machne shop that knows those heads first hand. Also proper care of the head bolt holes in the block is most important.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A friend just picked up a high-mileage '97 325i and is in the process of fixing it up. One of the final problems is that the station display of the stock Blaupunkt doesn't work. The radio itself is fine, sound is great, scan works, just the display is out. Is this repairable by mere mortals? Thanks. steve ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:31:33 -0700 From: Peter Loron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: UUC Digest <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: [E36] Radio display light? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I _think_ it's pretty straightforward to replace the lamps that backlight the display. A very quick scan on the http://www.bimmerdiy.com/e36 page didn't turn it up, but I'm positive I've seen a writeup somewhere. Maybe on bimmerforums.com. -Pete Stephan Goldstein wrote: > A friend just picked up a high-mileage '97 325i and is in > the process of fixing it up.
