 cheap on occasion.

Or buy the Chinese GT-1.  They work, but they're expensive by the time 
you piece together the laptop, etc, and if you have an issue with it, 
you're screwed.

Alternatively, there is an item called a pass through tool which has 
various iterations offered by various companies.  They tend to cost less 
than $2K, and when used in conjunction with www.bmwtechinfo.com, you 
have full diagnostic ability on any BMW.

They are selling a laptop hard drive with X version of software on it 
(be careful, you can't program with anything newer than V44). Also an 
interface head for the car with some cables.

My understanding is that the hard drive *might* work with an IBM R30, 
and pretty much *won't* work with any other laptop.

 I take it the HD is in that funky yellow oval shaped cylinder(s). Are the

 Also why is the system tied to an older IBM laptop?
 
 Also what's the deal with Carsoft? Can you buy their system without going

By the way, the 'new' bimmer was particularly easy to upgrade, lighting wise, 
to three tail lights per side, (stock was one) and two brake lights per side

I suppose fit would depend on how the battery is mounted specifically in 
the ti.  Neither my E24 or E46 would accommodate a traditional 7+ 
terminals height battery without having to leave the top of the 
compartment off, and the E24 wouldn't have a way to secure it, as it 
relies strictly on the traditional BMW bottom bracket.

That said, a couple of years ago, East Penn came out with a couple of 
AGM batteries made in the euro sizes with bottom brackets and recessed 
terminals... if you can find them.

Subject: E46 325iT driveability issues
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Group,

Vehicle is a 2001 325i Touring with 5 speed manual and 73k miles.

I have been attempting to troubleshoot a hesitation problem that manifests 
itself at lower engine speeds.  For example, when pulling away from a stop sign 
at a very reasonable acceleration it feels as though the car is hesitating and 
not accelerating smoothly.  This is a subtle feel until you give it a little 
more pedal and the it becomes much more apparent.  I would say at roughly 3200 
rpm or so the engine seems to smooth out and pull cleanly to the upper end of 
the tach.

I have also noticed another anomaly in that while keeping a steady state 
throttle position at ~2300 rpm the car will occasionally surge forwards for 
about 2 seconds as if I had depressed the throttle slightly (though I have 
not).  During this brief instant the MPG gauge dips and the car slightly 
accelerates.  Very odd.

If this were an E30 I would immediately think fuel pressure regulator so I did 
a fuel pressure test using the appropriate gauge (Thanks Rich!) and all looks 
good.  A quick inspection of the vacuum lines and intake boot shows no leaks 
and the car is showing no codes on the AutoEnginuity.

Any suggestions on the next step?  Should I pull the intake tract apart to look 
at build up in the throttle body?  Bad DISA unit?

Thanks for listening.

the unit I received was a 6 cyl (though I thought I paid for a 4cyl).
I never noticed until Mid Ohio this weekend and it redlining at an

Mr Derian was there with potential reasons, but I have a feeling the
redline was real, the display of the tach was wrong. I could just get
another 4cyl cluster but I was hoping there is a way to transfer the
plug from my old dead unit to the new one.


BTW, Mr. Derian sure has a purty e34 M5.

Well, I wasn't paying attention and I ran over some of those concrete

While looking at the rims, I noticed my tires are in pretty sad shape

with tires. I have 16 Double Spokes from the E36 sport package now.
Something similar with good tires would be fine. I'm not looking for

set of wheels they're looking to move? I'm in southwest Houston.

 ...you ever see those shows on TV where they show you how they make 
things?  In a car factory, it typically goes:

Step 1: A large press stamps out the floor pan of the car

Step 2: A worker installs the heater core.  (They can't have a robot do 
it because already at this stage it requires more dexterity than a robot 
can muster.)

Step 3: Four large robot welders fasten the front, top, and rear parts 
of the body together.

and so on...

I have PC.  I have yet to use the enhanced BMW as I am waiting for it and the 
new USB interface, but used the GM enhanced and it was an earlier version and 
it was great.

I can tell you I did Peake and it was a 100% waste of money on my ti as it had 
no way to be updated to a change that was made to the DME's in these cars, so 
it lied to me all the time.  The AE package is being updated all the time and 
specifically lists all the enhanced things it can do by DME, it is a real tool, 
not a toy.

There is more to life han OBD II...I use AutoEnginuity's package and can
highly recommend it.  It has all of the basic OBD II stuff, but also can be
bought with the Enhanced BMW codes...it gives you preety much what the
dealer uses and enhanced packages for other brands are available as well.

Cheap?  No.  Expensive? NO!  Worth it?  You bet and saves a bundle in the long

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have owned the 1996 328i since new.  Since about 140,000  miles( I now have 
173,000 on car), I occasionally set a code  as read by a Peake R5/FCX-II 
scanner.  The fault code is from Table 11, EA: Catalyst efficiency below 
threshold, Cyl #4-6.  Sometimes the fault code is read, even though the Check 
Engine light is not set;  other times, the Check Engine light does set.  When 
cleared, the code does not immediately re-appear; in fact, I can go several 
thousand miles without a fault.  Other than the obvious cat problem (if the 
code is to be interpreted literally), does anyone know of other interpretations 
of this code?  The car is driven almost exclusively on freeways - usually a 
bit above the speed limit.  One time the code set occurred when I accelerated 
at wide open throttle for a period of time.

Subject: Anyone knowledgeable about E34 sport seats?
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Picked up a set of E34 electric sport seats from a local craigslist ad. 
Pretty decent shape; need some leather conditioning and a little love here 
and there but they'll be a nice addition to the 535 when they are cleaned 
up.

They do have one problem that I suspect is somewhat common and was hoping 
that this groupe might have some insight on how to approach.

The extendable lower bolster on one of the two seats is broken.  The problem 
is the plastic track guide the connects the bolster to the sliding rail is 
busted.  The guide itself looks like a delrin type plastic part - white in 
color - that is riveted to the bottom of the bolster.  Does not seem to be 
an orderable part within the E34 catalog.

Any ideas if there is a substitute part from another model, a means to order 
this one, or even a someone who's making a replacement part?  Heck, maybe 
there's someone out there with set of trashed sport seats who's alreadly 
canibalized them for parts and would like to sell me this.  Need one for 
sure but two would be best.

Suggestions?  Ideas?

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I run poly RTABS and GC RSMs, and with that enjoy a fair amount of rear road
noise normally.  I try to ignore it.  I'm also one to drive with the windows
down anytime it's not raining, and that tends to mask whatever noise is coming
up from the back.  But with my bad rear wheel bearing, I drove home tonight
with the windows up to see what I could hear (differently).

The rear noise I hear really does sound like it's not on just one side (the
whole back end groans).  And I noticed tonight that much of it goes away when
I turn to the left.  Doesn't have to be a terribly sudden or sharp turn
either.  Any turn to the left.  I suppose some of this could be the LR
bearing... but is it possible I have a final drive problem too?

Bill, separating the tie rod end from the bracket at the bottom of the strut is 
not all that difficult.  Noisy maybe, but not difficult.  I mean, if I can do 
it, you should have no trouble at all.  

After removing the nut (replace with new or if necessary, use thread locker 
when replacing), use a pry bar between the control arm and the tie rod end 
while whacking the crap out of the bracket with a BFH.  It helps to turn the 
wheels to get just the right angle on the pry bar - the right angle depends 
on your pry bar.  Use a small jack under the joint in the tie rod end when 
re-installing, to press the tapered shaft of the tie rod end into the hole in 
the bracket.

Does anyone know if BMW did a mischief with the size of the center-hole 
(mounting spigot ) on wheels that fit the X5 ?  Is it a different dia than 
that used on the cars ?? There seem to be quite a lot of lightly-used X5 
stock wheels for sale that would appear at first-glance to offer 
opportunities for car drivers to get a second (winter ? ) set for little 
loot . Things like 17x 7 1/2 with 40 -42 mm offset .which is exactly 
what the E36 M3 (as an example ) came with in 1995 . The X5 wheels are 
obviously built a bit stouter -they weigh approx 3 lbs more than the 
equivalent car wheels .but that doesnt really matter when you're 
up to your A$$ in ice/snow/glop .
BUT , if BMW DID change that center hole size all is for naught .

Does anyone know fer-sure ??

 Sometimes these things happen for the good.  While I was in there cleaning my

 coupe/roadster calipers and pad carriers won't bolt onto the trailing arms 
 because the mounting ears are different.  Not to mention possible parking 
 brake fitment issues.  However, if you can find complete rear trailing arms, 
 you might have a winner (caution, may require half-shaft mods in one form or 
 another due to the rear hub/wheel bearing being larger on M cars).  As a 
 bonus the rear trailing arms of M coupe/roadster are gusseted and therefore

330i brakes on the front only results in a terribly front-biased setup and
gains considerable weight.  The 330i brakes are surprisingly heavier even
than E36 M3 brakes, adding 10lbs.

For the system-oriented, it definitely does not make sense.

Ideally, the MZ3 rear arms/brakes with M3 front hub/spindle/brakes... which
then lets you explore all the nice genuine big brake upgrades available
for the M3.

Short of going that far, freshening OE components and upgrading where
possible yields impressive gains; fresh rotors, a good performance pad like
the Hawk Performance Ceramic, fresh fluid, and stainless steel lines.

 The hot ticket for non-M e36 front brakes is e46 330i brakes as they will
bolt on (still need the pad carriers, calipers, pads and rotors) and are
even larger in diameter than the e36 M parts.  You might also consider a
master cylinder upgrade too as you're messing with a well designed SYSTEM of
individual components.

 For the rear there are very few options.  Rotors are no problem but again,
M coupe/roadster calipers and pad carriers won't bolt onto the trailing arms

bonus the rear trailing arms of M coupe/roadster are gusseted and therefore
stronger.

Clarification: 10lbs more than E36 M3 brakes, which weigh more than 7lbs
more than 323/325 brakes.  So 330 brakes add 17lbs+ total.

  The 330i brakes are surprisingly heavier even
 than E36 M3 brakes, adding 10lbs.

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.

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

I supposed I could stuff a lot of knitted dog hair on the brake pedal, but 
then the brake lights would be on.  :^)

While I didn't get to drive it, I spent some time at a Tokyo BMW  
dealer (it was conveniently located next door to the Park Hyatt, so  
nice of them to think of me) and I found the 1 Series to be pretty  
tight. I only tried out the 4 door (er, 5 door) and getting in the  
rear seats was a joke. The front wasn't as bad, but still not great.  
Maybe the coupe will have larger door openings.

The key is the frequency.  A driveshaft vibration is 3+ x higher frequency 
than a tire vibration.  Both your wheels and tires can be out of 
round/balance.

Gary Derian

 No, vibration  disappears at higher speed. And there is none when I drive 
 speed limit :(

 Doesn't make sence to me. I had set of winter tires on - no vibration. 
 Replaced for summer (2006) - drove for a while and vibration came. I 
 thought it's wheels as tires were pretty worn out. Then I switched for 
 winter - and shimmy were present!
 Now, I took those summer wheels and put new tires on them. Shimmy still 
 there.

 Isn't that a good proof that wheels is not a problem?

 Does the vibration get increasingly worse at higher speeds, or does it 
 subside?  If it gets better at higher speeds it may still be tires or 
 wheels.

Rough Set #3:
These are in OK condition. They have a few dents on the long section and a

Brett,
There was an apparent title issue in the car’s history (prior to my
ownership) that I was unaware of.  Ebay yanked my auction for failing to
note the problem.  I have relisted it.  Here is the new link.

Am working on a friend's car this evening and it is missing its owner's 
manual!

Car is an '01 325i 4 door with the double VANOS engine in it.

I need the oil capacity.

I need to know how to set the clock.

I have the method of reseting the oil service indicator from the last 
time I did this job.

TIA,

 Car is an '01 325i 4 door with the double VANOS engine in it.

I have the same car with a 5th door in back.

 I need the oil capacity.

~6.5qt  I always start with 6, and adjust up as necessary.

 I need to know how to set the clock.

Turn car on (don't need to start it).  If the car has OBC, change it to
the clock mode.  Turn the RIGHT knob in the cluster CCW/CW to adjust
back/forward.  Pressing in will reset to the (nearest?) hour.  It syncs
with the radio automatically.

a friend of mine who did a few headliner repairs before recommended that 
i just go to a shop to get it fixed when it happened to me...he said 
this was one of those jobs where paying $150 was well worth the price...

i think someone mentioned earlier that its the degradation of the foam

My son and I finally extracted the engine from the E30. I can now answer
some of the questions I had before we started as a reference for others.

1. Tranny bolts on the '89 were the Torx type and of three different sizes
E10, E12, and E14.

2. The bolts are both forward and rear facing. One hex head bolt was on the
passenger side holding in the sheet metal cover to the bell housing.

3. The engine stand bolts are 12 x 1.75 of varying lengths.

I have seen it on a 328is, I had to change it for the customer on a parking 
lot. I changed mine on the race car with a metal one... don't want that to 
happen at 7500 RPM.

Probably still a rare failure, if you have plastic pulleys, then I would 
check them once you check your belt or at every oil change doesn't take 
long.

good results from Hawk Ceramics on my E38, but I guess they are not

Probably 98% of E60's are still under a maintenance plan, so aftermarket 
companies are not making maintenance parts a priority.

Deal with the dust for now, wait for the Akebono Ceramic ACT pads to

Agreed.  I've used Forever Black and it works really well, of course
it's more like a die and it comes in a liquid shoe polish bottle so I'm
not so sure it isn't re-labelled shoe polish.  ;-P

Gents,
Are the two pieces, the shift surround and the rectangular piece above the
glove box, of a different shade in the wood trim of the luxury package? I
purchased the two and the piece over the glove box is a darker color
whereas the shift surround is a much lighter (redder) shade.
Is this normal?

I also didn't realize that the surround is really plastic. Is the wood a
very thin veneer?

 water in the #4 spark plug well.  I dried it out best I could with

 Could shorting due to the water have caused some damage that I should
 find and fix?

 I also found and re-seated a vacuum hose that was not quite fully

Well other than the dent on the hood, mis-matched Natur beige interior

cloth driver's seat , with the 325is door panels needing installation
and enough time for me to cobble together seat parts to make one good

it is your basic white E30 318is with 300K miles in need of serious
paint improvement work.  From the pics you would not know about the
Porterfield R4S brake pads, Treehouse Racing control arm bushings or
convertible front / M3 rear sway bars.

Our daughter took some pictures a couple of weeks ago when we actually
owned 4 BMWs at one time (3 E30s, one since sold, and one E34).  Once
she gets them posted somewhere, I'll provide a link.

That is classic cooling fan trouble.  I can't explain why considering you've 
replaced ecverything.  Since the heater works, the water pump is pumping.

When the evidence conflicts with your theory, get a new theory.

Gary Derian

 I've reached my total level of incompetence with my 1990 535iA cooling 
 system. The radiator is new (which started this effort) along with the 
 thermostat, expansion tank cap, viscous fan clutch, and upper radiator 
 hose. System has been flushed very well, pressure tested by MPH in Houston 
 and found to hold pressure and be in good shape. Water pump has about 25k 
 on it. Aux fan is working properly with a new radiator sensor switch. 
 Small return hose to expansion tank is clear. I've bled the system several 
 times on flat pavement and with the car on ramps.

 It runs fine with the temp needle in the middle on the way to work, about 
 12 miles. I get in the car in the evening on the way home and the temp 
 gauge starts a steady hike all the way to red as the engine heats up. 
 turning on the heater and revving the engine quickly brings it back down. 
 As long as the car is moving the temp will hold in the middle, but any 
 stopping starts the temp back up and I have to hit the heater again.

 Could the impeller on the water pump be spinning on its shaft? Any 
 thoughts, suggestions?

 I'm stumped.

.  The door latches are sticky from
this same whiteness.  First, the car drives great, and mechanically is in
good shape, but I am concerned that if there is some minor rust in areas
that I cannot see, then this might get worse.  From what I can see from
laying on the ground under the car, there is no visible rust.  The car
just looks a little weathered underneath the car.  On the outside the
paint and body are near perfect.  I was thinking that I could perhaps seal
that up with some Wurth (is that how you spell it?)this summer.  So what
could be done about some of these issues?  Any guys on the east coast out
there that could give advice on this too?  Before I buy it, where are some
really important areas to look for these spots.  I have looked in the
wheel wells, shock towers in rear and front, trunk generally (under the
carpet), under battery, engine compartment.  Where else should I look?
TIA

Hello All,

I have a 24 volt battery for a Chicago Electric Power Tools Impact Wrench,
Model 90834.  The battery has not been used very much at all.  It is FREE
(you pay shipping) to the first person that responds.

The wrench was purchased from Harbor Freight Tools.  The model number is
probably the Harbor Freight Item number.  I do NOT recommend this wrench --
it operates oddly and broke after about a dozen uses!

However, if you already have one of these wrenches, or think the battery
might work with something you have, it is yours for the cost of shipping.
Please reply with your zip code so that I can figure shipping cost.

these combinations uncommon?  I’ve found a couple of
blk/red combinations but no silver/blue.  I already
have a blk/blk E36 and don’t feel like another blk/blk
combo.  The silve/black combo doesn’t do much for me
either.  Especially since my g/f has a silver/black
E46 that I drive all the time.  I saw the blk/cinnamon
combo but that cinnamon looks like baby food on it’s

Is there any difference or I should get cheapest one ?

 shop have to apply it, and in such cases only in 
the affected areas. This is also noted in collision estimating guides. 
On the other hand, I understand what you are saying - if the car or part 
being repaired had additional corrosion inhibitor applied at any time 
during or after assembly, then this would have to be reapplied by the 
shop after repair. Most cars do not have additional coatings on bolt-on 
parts such as fenders and doors, though some do. Those that do either 
have it on the replacement part or give instructions to the repairer to 
re-apply it at repair. Whatever was present prior to repair should be 
present after repair in any case.

 Seems to me that aftermarket parts don't have to pass any standard.  
 For safety items, the whole car is tested.  There is no fender crash 
 test. Fenders do add some crush protection, but not much.  On most 
 cars, they also contribute to body stiffness.

 Much corrosion protection is placed onto the body after it is welded 
 together, so a fender will need treatment even if it is factory supplied.

 Gary Derian



 That's a valid thought. While possible, it is not likely. Non-OEM 
 aftermarket parts are supposed to pass safety rules and regs, just as 
 OEM aftermarket parts, though I imagine that there are some which don't.

Hello,

Does anyone know if Michelin 235/45/17 snow tires will
fit on an e36 M3?

The tires currently on the car are 235/40/17, so these
are *slightly* taller tires (3.70 sidewall for the
stock tires and 4.16 for these snow tires).  I have
these from my mustang, and if they will fit, I'd
rather not spend the money for another set.  Plus, the
added height (while minimal I realize) can't hurt
either.

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey all,

I did a look through the archives, but I thought I'd
bring the topic up again to see if thoughts have
changed (relatively).  I need to replace the
windshield in my E36, and although I recall some
threads in the not so distant past about windshield
brands for replacement, I am unsure what the consensus
was (or if there was one) regarding preferred
replacement brand.  I DO know Levinson likes his OEM
glass for all the BMW logos and knicknacks, and a
guaranteed fit, but I don't know really know what most
others think. :)  I do recall hearing that OEM glass
is a bit softer/more prone to chips and pits(?)  What
do you all think?  I was thinking also about
structural considerations, which I guess are moot if
the oem glass is softer and the PPG is harder. 
Fitment-wise, is the PPG as good (or better) than OEM?
 Opinions welcome, as well as names of any good
windshield installation places in the Los Angeles area
that anyone has had very good experience with. ;)

Thanks,

 Imo that spray grease makes an ugly mess, and doesn't last long.

 First free up the hinges with WD40 and repeated opening and 
closings, then after dry, soak it up with White Lightning bicycle chain 
lube.  Great on hood and trunk hinges and latches too.

Due to the sudden departure of my 328i after its fight
with a Jersey barrier, I am now looking at buying
another BMW.  In particular, I'm considering a 97 540i
6 sp which is located in either Suffern, NY or near
Albany, NY (dealership has two locations).  I've got
family in Suffern (I live near Boston), so I will
likely look at the car there.  

Does anyone know of a good place to have an inspection
done near Suffern, NY (near the Tapanz Bridge which is
about 30 minutes outside of NYC for those who are
somewhat familiar with the area)?  I'd really like to
have an inspection done prior to putting the money
down.  

Additionally, any problem areas to look for? 

Thanks,

Paul

If anyone has had success installing a Soundgate auxillary input adapter (model

correctly but cannot get any audio from the added input.  There's must be a 
gotcha somewhere in the installation process.  Hopefully, someon has found 
this before me.

How often should you rotate your tires? I'm asking because someone mention 
to me doing it every month. I guess that is good to really keep them wearing 
smoothly.

Either never, or every oil change (~5k miles).  

BMW recommends never, as the tires wear differently from
front to rear and with most modern, directional tires you
can't swap them side-to-side.  

If you change frequently they won't have time to wear in
one specific pattern too much.  Don't follow the generic
guidelines given for most cars.

If you don't rotate, you replace your rear tires
(generally) twice as often as the fronts.  A benefit is
that your newest tires are always going in the back, which
is safest in foul weather.

Subject: E36 M3 VANOS problems?
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey all,

Two problems:

1) In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed what just
sounds like noisy valves getting noisier.  I noticed
my oil level was a bit low, so I topped it up, but the
noise is still persistent.  I know people have
described a bad VANOS as marbles in a can, but I
guess what I think of at hearing that phrase is a much
higher pitched sound of glass marbles spinning and
rattling around in the bottom of a coffee can, and my
engine sure doesn't sound like that.  It's just a loud
rattling noise that you can hear at idle, or even more
so just off of idle (at about 1000 rpm) at the front
of the engine.  I know this is somewhat vague, but the
noise is quite apparent and beginning to unsettle me. 
Is it bad to drive the car hard with the VANOS going
out?  The car has almost 95k on it right now, so I
guess it's about time for a new VANOS?

2) Other than my Conforti chip, what else would
contribute MOST to causing heavy ping at WOT under
load?  Bad plugs, O2 sensors?  Maybe I need a tune up
too -- time to check the records for when these were
last replaced.

Brian,

Have you replaced the primary timing chain tensioner yet?  That is a
five minute job and really did a lot to quiet my vanos down.  Another
possible source of a rattling noise at the front of the engine is the
serpentine belt idlers and tensioner pulley, all of which can make a
lot of noise when they have some miles on them.  I would check all of
those before you assume that the vanos unit itself is bad.

Hi all, 
I just picked up a 99 528i Wagon for my wife and need to put some new
shoes on it.  This is her grocery getter and will not see any serious
performance driving, so I'd like to put on some quiet all season rubber
that can muddle through the 4 or 5 snowy days each winter here in KC.
It has the sport package, so the tires are 235/45/17.  Anyone have a
tire in this size they love?  Anyone tried the Kuhmo ASX or the Avon
Tech M550?  The Avon has the highest ratings from Tirerack, but the
total miles traveled is pretty low. The ContiExtremeContact also looks
good. As always, thanks for the input.

cleans the fuel system and top of the piston where the carbon buildup

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Greetings,

For those of you with E30 knowledge, I could use some help (actually, my son 
can).  I am in PA  he is in OH, so I can't take a look at it myself.

Here's the deal.  He has a rock solid well-maintained '86 325es, with 225,000 
miles.  He uses it in the winter and daily driver when he doesn't want his 
recent;y purchased E36 M3 to be outside.  So, it would normally be an 
emergency, but it is at the moment.  The M3 is down while he installs new HR 
Coiloversso, he doesn't have any wheels at the moment!

He called me yesterday to say the '86 was running rough, but running and 
starting fine.  I told him it was most lilkely a fowled plug...told him what to 
do.  If that wasn't it, maybe a fuel filter/fuel delivery problemstandard 
troubleshooting stuff (no problem).

Then, he calls me last night all upset because he needed to go get a tool for 
the HR install and the '86 wouldn't start!  He said it sounded like the 
starter was trying, but wouldn't turn over.  Sounds like a classic low battery 
or 
solenoid problem...he recently installed a new battery and new alternator, so 
I' a bit perplexed, unless it is one of two things:

1.  Could the ground wire from the starter be not well-grounded possibly?
2.  Maybe the starter has decided to die all of the sudden? (no signs of not 
wanting to start ever before.
 
Maybe the rough running thing and the no-start problem are just a 
coincidence, but I wonder if they could be related in any way...something 
electrical...like a relay or something???

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for help!

To some people maybe.  I have an F250 4x4 that barely ever gets

  Hi all,
 
  The bolt that attaches the alternator adjustment bracket to the engine
  sheared off on my 1985 E28 M535is (Euro model, but mostly US spec).
  Bentley
  says this bolt is to the engine, but I believe they are speaking
  figuratively.  It appears that this bolt goes through the alternator
  adjustment bracket and into an aluminum support bracket, with the
support
  bracket being bolted to the engine.  My plan is to remove the alternator
  and
  then remove the aluminum support bracket.  With the support bracket on
my
  workbench, I'll be able to easy-out or drill out the broken bolt.  Two
  questions:
 
  1.  Am I correct in regard to that aluminum support bracket?  Is there
any
  reason that bracket would be difficult or complicated to remove?  It
  appears
  relatively straightforward.
 
  2.  The bolt that sheared off appears to have been a odd-shaped
fastener?
  One end of the support bracket has a large diameter hole while the other
  end
  has a small diameter hole.  Presumably, the bolt had a very large
diameter
  unthreaded shank and a much smaller diameter threaded section at the
end.
  Yes?  No?  My plan is to put in a simple small diameter bolt that
matches
  the threads.  This would leave a long section of shank with no support
  perpendicular to the bolted connection.  Not ideal, but you would not
  think
  it would be a highly stressed fastening with just belt tension on it
  (though
  it did break once ...).  Any chance that E30's or Bavaria's take the
same
  fastener?  They are the only parts cars I have around.
 
  Thanks,
 
  Stan

 Deutsch Marks in Germany (which at the time was
about $10K), so there was a lot of incentive from a cost standpoint. Look for
grey market importers

The BMW 120i or 120d would be difficult to bring in, due to the modifications
(which may or may not be needed), inspections, bonds, paperwork etc. Not to
mention the lack of spare parts, warranty coverage or resale value. (The last
one is debatable.)

Not to try to scare you off, I am very interested to see if you decide to pursue
this. Please report back on the progress, others can learn from your experience.

 Gruppe:
 
 For anyone that has first hand knowledge of this sort of 
 thing.  Or for 
 anyone one has any knowledge regarding this.
 
 I know there are people on the list, like the list-owner, 
 Rob, who have cars 
 not intended for the US market and are driving them legally 
 in the US. In 
 many of those cases the model represents a model that was 
 sold in the US 
 (M3, M5.)  First question for discussion is has anyone 
 imported a model not 
 sold in the US? (I know Euro M3s and M5s were not sold in the 
 US, but US 
 models of those were.) I'm talking about importing a 120i for 
 instance. Or, 
 for than matter a 120d. What hurdles need to be overcome to 
 import a car 
 like the 1 series (as a daily driver, not a track/museum 
 piece.) How about 
 an E46 330d touring? (Existing body-type, but not existing 
 engine.) Is it 
 even remotely possible?
 
 On another note, I know engine swaps are possible for for 
 OBDI and older 
 cars. However, I would imagine that an engine swap from an 
 E34 525 to an E34 
 (Euro) 525tds is not possible under current emissions 
 standards. Or is it?
 
 I'm guessing most would say it is easier to import a manual 
 transmission for 
 an already US model 300D Benz wagon.
 
 I'm looking for answers and possible solutions. I don't care 
 to hear about 
 'why would anyone import a diesel BMW into the US?' type 
 stuff. No need to 
 waste bandwidth with that. Of course, if anyone else feels 
 that they wanted 
 to import a diesel as well. Email me off list and we can talk 
 about the 
 answers I got.

The links below take you to pictures from the 2004 GGC Top Driver
Shootout autocross on Oct. 24 at the Marina Municipal Airport.  Kris
Linquist is relatively new at motorsport photography, but still gets
some great shots.  I like the reflections off of the Fechner Cup
trophy.  Compare them to Doug Richardson's shots.  Doug has been doing
photography for car magazines.  His shots better capure the excitement
of the moving car.  Also, the sharper focus better allows you to see
the peeling paint on the hood of my E30 325i  (#4).  I'd like to
believe that the paint peeled due to my higher speeds.  But that is
only in my dreams.

The event was won by Ken Garcia for the second year in a row.  He
joins Darrel Lunge (3 times) and Bob Maher (2 times) as the only
multiple winners.

Subject: E36 oil leak question
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gruppe,

Left my 92 325i (111K on the clock) with my independent tech this week
to do some PM and he found a leak in the oil pan gasket.  I'm thinking
it's probably due to the 6 months it spent of mostly sitting in the
driveway with minimal driving (about once every 2 or 3 wks) while I was
in Australia on a temporary work assignment until April.  Anyway he
quoted about $250 in labor to replace it due to having to remove part of
the subframe to get to the gasket, so I'm thinking if it costs that much
to get into that area and I'm planning on keeping the car, I should
probably replace whatever else in the same area as long as he's in
there.  Anyone have any suggestions on parts that would be accessible
that if it was your car, you'd go ahead and do?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Is the car tracked?  If so, put a baffled pan in.

Regardless, may as well replace the oil pump while you're there, but there is
really no other work that is duplicated when doing this, so don't go overboard.

 thinking it was a waste of money and I've
 finally noticed why.
 
 It is missing at LEAST 30 pages. They aren't torn
 out; the manual appears
 intact.
 
 On page 130-1, there is an index that references 36
 pages total in section
 130. In my attempts to read page 130-22 (intake air
 tempurature sensor), I
 realized the manual didn't have ANY pages from 130-7
 through 130-36.
 
 Is this a known issue?
 How can I get the rest of my manual?
 What else is known to be deficient about my manual?
 
 Thanks,
 Pete

 places sell them. They installed with e30 M3 top
plates for added stability. The problem is the subframe (SF) is moving
around. At my last track day I noticed this at various times on the track
(like under braking going downhill) I would get a loud clunk or snap. I also
could feel this shifting of the SF while jacking up the car by placing the
jack in the center of the SF just in front of the diff. When torquing the
rear wheels I will also intermittently get a loud thump or crack as the car
rotated forward. 

I took the car back to the shop that did the work and they discovered that
the e30 M3 top places were upside down, so the indent on this washer that is
contoured to fit over the SF bushing was facing up. They flipped these over
and put it back together and declared it fixed. I also noticed that these
top plates were loose when I got the car back the first time. Loose to the
point that you could spin them with you fingers. After they redid the work
only one of the washers is now loose (drivers side) but all the symptoms I
described above are still there.

Can anyone think of what the problem could be here?

Thanks

 that moisture straight through, less
well designed mufflers let it pool inside)

from what I've seen, coolant leaks into the motor = white smoke out the
exhaust

failing water pumps can drizzle coolant out (external leak) and then when
they die completely you will find the temperature gauge rapidly rising

So it is a nice spring day here in New England. Time to get under the car
and find that piece of heat shield that makes me nuts at 2k.

Found that. Easy fix.

Then I surveyed the bottom of the car. Hmm, not bad. Touch that up there.
scrape and coat that over there. Perfect. No holes and just the beginings of
rust where something nicked the undercoating. 

Wait a minute... over there by the passenger footwell...

What was this? A jack point? It's all crusty and loose... and there is a
hole in the floor under it... A!

Ok, so just aft of the front tires on an E30 there are these little (3x3
inch) floded steel pads welded into the floor. My passenger one is rotted
through. Does anyone make a replacement panel I can weld in, or am I going
to have to make this on my own.

Also, a little further back there seems to be a similar problem around the
drain under the passneger seat. It is all still in place, but it feels a
little crunchy under there.

At the moment it is just these spots, but if I don't fix them, it is all
over.

Where do I get replacement steel?

Radial Tire in Silver Spring.  Paul Morcones is a long time BMWCCA member and

a Toyo dealer, so you can get t1-Ss, which are great all around tires for the price.

I am changing the block of a 94 540 and am curious about a few things.
Can anyone offer advice on the need to replace knock sensors?  Are they
at all prone to failure?  They are sure easy to change now, but quite
difficult once everything is back together.  If they were really cheap I
would do it for sure.  Any other suggestions on 'must change' items?
Thanks for any thoughts.
