Today a friend gave me a tape to listen to, I think I own maybe one or two tapes so I didn't have a chance to check the tape player on the stock radio (haven't had the car that long) before I popped his tape in. The tape went in and that was it, would not come out, play, or anything. The bad part here is that the tape was not replaceable, it was a one off and was important. So I set about trying to get it out, which turned into an all out surgery and ended in the radio being broken (don't ask). I would like to replace the radio with a stock unit, the only part number I could glean from the radio itself was BMW MODEL # CM5804, it also said Alpine on the same sticker. The car is an 85 535i. If any of you have one of these in a box out in your garage, or if you have any ideas as to where I could find one at a decent price ($25 ish) please drop me a line, the unit must be fully functional (radio, tape, all face panel lights). If my price is off base let me know, I just don't want to deal with installing or paying for an aftermarket stereo right now. There is a chance I will be in the Seattle area this weekend for a wedding, otherwise I'll be happy to pay shipping. Thanks for the bandwidth.

Any suggestions? > Are you planning on swapping all four tires, or only the two rears? If you're swapping just the rears to the A032R's, seems to me that you'll be really cranking up the understeer. Now, this may be acceptable for the drag strip (however, I really don't know anything about drag racing...), but it would be pretty miserable on the track. If you're going to the R-compound tires, change all four so you increase the stick on both ends of the car. If you're new to driving schools/track schools, you may want to stay with street tires for a bit - as someone else pointed out, they give you more warning as they come up on their limits.

I then follow with Black Again. See CarCareOnline.COM for more info. I've also seen another detailer use this stuff at a CCA Spring Cleanup. Incredible how well it works. => Mitch (black/black '00 540i/6 with no wax residue on the rub strips!)

I called Griot's to see what they recommended to remove the stuff. They sell a wax stripper but said to try peanut butter first. It worked well. I usually apply a good quality vinyl preservative to the black trim before waxing the car and that helps prevent wax from getting into the pores. Also avoid the one-step cleaner wax or petroleum based liquid waxes as they stick to vinyl more. I don't usually have problems with Zymol showing up on the trim pieces. I like Griot's vinyl product. I also like Black Again. Forever Black is a good product but only for re-dying faded black trim. Don't use it to cover up wax or dirt.

OK, everyone with m3's, in non icy area's, go out, roll down your drivers' window and accelerate real hard (after engine warms up) and listen for clicking. we can figure this out. tommy- on the rampage to stomp out clicking for m3 owners everywhere. i just cant help myself. i get carried away with all this tag line stuff. oh yeah- 95 AA turbo m3- real fast- 12.013 and 122 mph 1/4mi ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 23:11:39 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uuc] Re: [uucdigest] Removing wax on black trim pieces. alright,,, im not crazy. well, maybe not as much as you all thought anyway. i knew i had heard that good ole peanut butter would do the trick. and hey,,, if you get the munchies while detailing your car,,, just dip your finger in and there you have it- dual purpose car cleaner- that's non toxic! tommy- who can tell i'm bored tonight? im not adding to this tag line,, you can read the other one i put on earlier. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 23:15:30 -0500 From: "Duane Collie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [uuc] Tax Time! >The IRS allows the owners of vehicles used for business purposes >with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of over 6,000 lbs. depreciate a larger >portion of the vehicle+IBk-s value annually than can owners of vehicles with >a GVW under 6,000 lbs. For years the IRS has given big trucks, (that >usually cost much more than cars, and often wear out faster) favorable >depreciation treatment. Ah-HA! Yet another little tax secret revealed upon yonder digest! This is the way all you guys can afford your tow vehicles for your cars ! What you do is have your bidness buy it....(Don't have one? Start one, great write-offs). Buy a truck over 6,000 lb GVW and you can elect to take off UP TO $ 19,000.00 in your section 179 deductibles the first year, then depreciate the remainder over a shorter term than buying a car. (Kathy, please feel free to correct me here if my numbers are off a bit). You can't do that with a car, which must be put on a depreciation schedule. You'll find also that the truck makers are wise to this, as many have GVW's just over that 6,000 lb mark for that reason, kewl, eh? That's one reason I bought a '99 Silverado Truck last year..... BUT..., all may not be rosy in Depreciation Land, for you generally have to run commerical insurance on a business truck, and that's mroe expensive than personal insurance by far. - - Duane Collie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 23:18:55 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uuc] Chip comparison 325E, stock vs. Dinan This Saturday I'll be upgrading the 325E from the stock chip to the Dinan.

I like the Fluke 87 myself. It has a backlight, continuity beeper, capacitor function, voltage, current, ohms, etc. It also comes with a rubber case with a flexible stand. Good luck!

Larry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes: > It was interesting to discover that the X5 does NOT have a rear > LSD. Curious, since the iXs came with a > 25% rear LSD from > the factory (25% is standard for most BMW factory LSDs). The iX actually came with a viscous center differential and a viscous rear differential. There was even a viscous front differential available in Europe. The US iX could transfer up to 90% of the power to either axle. Given the rear diff was also viscous, it could probably transfer 90% of 90% (= 81%) to either rear wheel.
