This was such a good chassis that something like 53% of all E34 M5s sold in Europe were in the Touring configuration. I wish all of us here in the US interested in more room would buy these nice wagons instead of the monstrous trucks that we have on our roads now. I'm never for too much government regulation but if a government is truly there to provide safety for its citizens, then it should have prohibited those things a long time ago. The E39 wagon is a beautiful car as well. Gary Krumian _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I replaced a bad fan clutch and the car runs at the � mark even at long lights, which is good and what I expected. But I made a trip to NYC yesterday and got stuck in traffic for about an hour. Car was running up to the 3/4 mark, so I put the heat on hot and ran the fan at high. This kept the car at 3/4 the whole time and made me sweat like Nixon at the Kennedy debate. Funny thing is the heat didn't actually kick in until the car moved a little in traffic. Could that be symptomatic of another problem? When I replaced the 1st fan clutch the car would only overheat if i let it sit at idle for a real_long time (say 45 mins) I don't want to be replacing parts willy nilly, but I would assume that with 250k I should prob start with the water pump! On a side note, I picked up a cheapo Strauss Auto spare tire until I get new tires from Tire rack (Yoko AVSi's, of course) The jackass there put a 195 60 14 on the rim when I told them I wanted a 195 65 14. I didn't realize my prob until I mounted the tire and drove around some. Is it ok to have one tire "out of whack" for a short period (1 week or so).

At 93k miles you can probably just put the head back on w/o issues. If you plan to keep the car forever (200k miles) then you might want to recondition the valve guides and such to minimise oil consumption later on. Make sure you check the head is not warped or leaking (straight edge and pressure test) and maybe have the combustion chamber, valves and piston tops cleaned. Neil Deshpande http://www.neilwerke.com *** CR Boyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1992 735i overheated several months ago and it now has oil in coolant. Talked to a independent shop on having it repaired. He is getting info on parts for an estimate, I am having him to redo water pump, timing belt or chain and any other items that would need to be replaced. It has 93K on it. Any other suggestions on engine repairs while it is down. Are their special tools needed to remove and reinstall head and the associated parts? Any idea on the cost for parts and labor? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

When pulling away from a stop, the alert system tells me a door is open. I know all the doors are closed and that its is probably a sensor. Is there a way to disable the alerts until I can diagnose and repair the sensor(s)? The visual alert is not bad, but the persistent "gonging" is highly distracting (maybe I should use my cel phone to counter the gong distraction).

Didn't notice it until the next fill-up, of course. After finding the leak's source, I replaced the 3" seal for the pump, and it stopped leaking. Make sure that it's rust and not just looseness if you're not determined to replace the tank. I did get a replacement tank though, and after reading the posts I think it's an "earlier" one, which is disappointing since the car's a 90. It has the "crossover" tube. What year(s) does the earlier one consist of (later ones being 88-91)? thanks. dan hagrman, 90 325is ------------------------------ End of [uucdigest] V3 #3957 *************************** ________________________________________ | Please visit these UUC-approved BMW parts vendors/service providers: | (listed alphabetically) | Camptown Automotive - http://www.camptownauto.com | Circle Tire Co.
