Tried to use realoem.com but could not find the critter. On my car I noticed there was a re-enforced hole in the right-side front, lower plastic "cover" which lines up with a clip-nut on the bottom of the washer fluid tank - but no screw. Trying to determine two things: 1) if a screw is supposed to be in there; and 2) the appropriate size/part number of the screw. - Andy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2005 00:32:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UUC Digest <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: washer fluid tank part number Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BL93&mospid=47714&btnr=61_1084&hg=61&fg=45 and http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BL93&mospid=47714&btnr=61_1465&hg=61&fg=45 I'm thinking it's the second one, but I'm not sure, I couldn't exactly see what you were trying to say in your email (since I don't have an E46 M3 ;) HTH, Brian --- "Andy G." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looking for the part number (actually a diagram) of > the washer fluid > tank/bottle for a '04 M3.

BMW GPS CD ROMS Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Interesting. I've bought the region I needed from a guy in the Roundel Classifieds who bought all eight and sold off his "extras". (btw- used it in my aftermarket philips/vdo unit in my chevy truck). I've thought the Navteq pricing is stupid and an obvious arbitrage. I didn't know it was a violation of the "agreement". "wrong" depends on if you think the agreement is binding and if they prosecute. I'm amazed they spent the time cruising ebay. Too bad I don't live out east, I'd buy your other regions ;-) Marco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Bell Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 10:57 AM To: bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com Subject: [UUC] FS(?)

If I pull away from a stop quickly, it slides back, revealing the upper (steel) panel of the sunroof. Also, if I tilt the sunroof for venting, the panel does not slide back as the sunroof tilts. Is something simply unclipped/unfastened, or is it something more complicated (i.e. costly) to fix? Thanks, Brian 95 M3 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It appears I need a new valve cover gasket, or at least new o-rings that isolate the direct-ignition stalks and spark plugs from the oil in the valve cover area. Anyone had this problem? All of my ignitors check-out OK. Did the oil actually affect your cars running and if so, what was the affect that you noticed? I am planning on ordering a new valve cover gasket set and having my injectors blueprinted/cleaned while I do the job, but I'm curious if there's anything else I should order/do while I'm replacing this valve cover gasket and o-rings (if any). thanks, Pete 1993 325i w/ 143K miles ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2005 15:39:56 -0700 From: "Marco Romani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: 1993 325i has oil leaking into spark plug holes Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "they all do that", to some extent at least. My old 93 325 had one of the holes filled nearly to the top, never noticed it until I changed the plugs. Could have been a week or a year that it was like that. I've heard it can cause a coil to fail and that in turn may cause a DME to fail, urban legend? I can't think of anything else in there you may want to change besides just checking the wear on the cams if you remove the valve cover..

Not enough to worry about until the next inspection. Yes, the oil can wick up to the coil, short it and kill the DME.

I replaced it just because I don't like fluids to leak out of my engines. It's pretty easy to replace it, not much more difficult than changing the sparkplugs.

The oil will degrade the spark plug connectors and short the coils to ground. At that point, any one of those shorts will take out the corresponding final stage unit of the DME.
