You gotta love this digest.
I swear this gets funnier every time I read it:
"I have 3 big virgin dogs with LOTS of hair ...Gt Pyrenees and Olde English
sheepdogs ..wooof ! Know anyone who spins and weaves ??"
...and then the response not only contains a reference on weaving doghair, but
it comes from a guy who ACTUALLY knows the author (and vouches for her
credibility!)...
...and as an add on, there's someone who can actually talk from experience-- I
mean, which is totally great in case you thought it was a good idea-- you just
can't make this stuff up.
Good luck!
Chris

I wasn't gonna speak up, but since there seems to be interest... :)
Go to a dog show sometime, chances are good that you'll run across a
booth selling a service whereby they will make items out of your dog's
hair for you. You don't have to learn how to spin & knit & weave & sew.
You can check out the sample fabric swatches made from various breeds.
-JB, drove my BMW to the last dog show I went to.

By the same token, once you've bought the motor for maybe $5k and
plugged it in with all the ancilliary buts you'll add, then you'll
realize that you've got a 325 suspension, brakes, etc. The M3 has
reinforced suspension mount points as well as reinforcement in the rear
subframe. It also has larger brakes to stop the car that is now moving
faster.
I'd say, price the difference between your car and a comperable M3. I
bet it's maybe 8-10k. then decide if the extra 2K will get you all the
little bits that the M3 offers
If your car has fresh suspension, including bushings and ball joints,
water pump, thermostat, etc then consider the motor transplant. If
not, consider upgrading the whole mess, rather than risk building it
one part at a time.
Just a thought.

Subj: [UUC] alright one more question for everyone about the M3
Ok so I decided to keep my 1992 BMW 325is and now I want to know how
hard it
would be to put the M3 motor into it? I could put it in my self but Im
not
the best with computers and electrical. And would the motor bolt up to
my
original transmission or not?? One more thing I was wondering is if
you can
put a 95 M3 rear diff on my car with out having to change the rear
diff
support rack or transmission?
Thanx Jarrett

Fwiw decent M3 motors are going for 3000-3500 now a days. I've seen some as
low as $2500 (90k miles).

Car is a 1996 318i with the *big* M44 motor, manual trans, serial # LC50246
(E36 chassis).
Starting yesterday, I shut down the car, remove the key and the car still
stays powered. Wipers, radio, elec windows are all functional until I press
my foot on the brake. Once the brakes are on everything powers down. Take my
foot off, and everything powers back up. I tapped and removed all the relays
in the engine compartment fuse block without any change.
I am thinking some sort of lamp failure sensor style issue is the cause. I'd
like to resolve this today so I can drive it to an autocross tomorrow.
Matt Murray
I supposed I could stuff a lot of knitted dog hair on the brake pedal, but
then the brake lights would be on. :^)
