This is for real- he did exactly what Martin said above in relation to the NOS system- I remember seeing the car owner's *own* web page on this topic. This car literally looked like someone opened the whole rear end up like a can of sardines, I think the rear decklid was imbedded in the garage door, which was then subsequently removed in the blast as well. If memory serves me correctly, the vehicle in question was his Nissan Maxima "Dragster" (also for real - why, I'm not sure). What amazes me the most- If you go on and do something that stupid, why on earth would he feel inclined to share this episode with the internet-browsing public? Any of y'all have a URL so for the edification of those who haven't seen this amazing carnage?

Part # 88 88 6 212 130. I bought it in anticipation of pulling the clutch on Bambislayer, never used it. I think it fits most manual trans BMW's, but am not sure. I paid $ 35 for it, now it's ony $ 25 palty bucks and figure $ 4.50 for most shipping via UPS. - - Duane Collie The Seven Sled <automatic ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:20:10 -0400 From: Steven Schlossman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [uuc] <WOB> Holy Cow!

The trouble is that my university has a rule that all students living on campus can only get Cable though the University and can't use Satellite dishes. I seem to remember a thread some time ago about a federal law which prohibits such monopoly. Can anyone point me to some info that I can use to fight them.

Now dedicated to my 5-er. Check out the photos of my recent purchase, a 528e. Not too bad for CDN$3500.

I know there's one for condos and houses. If you still want that info, I can dig it up tomorrow for you. You are allowed to have any satelite dish as long as it's under 18" (which most DirecTV dishes are) I live in an apt and was allowed to install a dish for DirecTV on the roof. I think I was lucky. - -Bobby '98 M3/2 looking for a 4 car garage... with a house attached :) - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan Carlos Bruce-Novoa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 10:13 PM Subject: [uuc] Direct TV > Hi all, > > I am trying to install a Direct TV dish so I can get Speedvision.

The "M" is for "M"ore power please...! :-) Speaking of which, just the other day I happened to see a M528e R-Type!!! At least that's what all the badges and stickers said on the backside of that poor bimmer. It was at a local repair shop, and I really wished I had my camera. Furthermore, it had that big racing style wing on the back and tacky dark window tinting (no side skirts or air dam though). I couldn't help myself and peeked in the window. And I saw a Motorsport steering wheel and shifter knob. Oh, and let's not forget the radar detector from Radio Shack taped to the dash... ... just to make sure, I looked under the rear bumper and spied one lonely, naked exhaust pipe peeking out. *shudder* Chris '83 528e - badgeless Barvarian Auto Club of Vancouver Island member #2137 http://members.home.net/iphoto/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 09:35:51 +0200 From: "Andrew Singer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [uuc] E36 OBC Hi All Just had a new OBC fitted to my '95 328i. DATE button on the old one ceased to work. Anyway, motorplan covered it. On going through the functions, see that the RANGE display shows up +999 km. Will the OBC correct this after a while or must it be reset manually. Do I have to wait until I re-fill the fuel tank next time?

I live in South Florida where the roads are decent. I have been doing my homework and so far it seems I have 3 good choices. They are either Eibach pro-kit(lowers about 1'?), Ground controls, or H&R sports with bilsteins. What are your impressions of them? I want to lower my car and make it handle somewhat better but I dont want to sacrifice much ride quality. Is this possible? Or should I just leave it alone? I appreciate everyones time in advance. Also is there anyone in South Florida with any of these setups? Id be willing to drive to check it out if I could. Let me know Thanks Jonathan Vitolo 99 Estoril M3 coupe awaiting mods =) ------------------------------ End of [uucdigest] V3 #280 ************************** _________________________________________ | Please visit these UUC-approved BMW parts vendors/service providers: | (listed alphabetically) | Bonneville Motorwerks . http://www.bonnevillemotorwerks.com | Circle Tire Co.
