I think your E28 would hold its own in SOTP feel against a stock E36 M3, more so against a '95. I tried a '97 M3/4 while car shopping and found it felt much stronger than all of the '95s I drove.

But there's no way to tell without doing it. :) I once put a rack of 4 skinny road bikes on top of my 85hp Saturn sedan for a long trip. I don't recall the mileage change, but I do recall the top speed of the car dropped from 105+mph without rack to 75mph with rack. Never before or since have I been able to drive a car at WOT for 50 miles or more without risking a ticket. (I don't recommend seeking top speed on anything but a low HP car if you have a roof rack attached!!) - -- "It is an honor to be Cookie Monster." -Sesame Street spokeswoman Audrey Shapiro ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 11:45:35 -0500 From: "Alex Cagann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [uuc] <E36><M3> Radio Code (still) I have heard that if you touch the two battery cables together, it clears all memory functions in the car. Obviously, you do this with the no battery in the car :-) I guess this disharges capacitors and what not. It may work for your radio too.

Any ideas? Sure, Reinstall the radio in the car and drive around with the radio ON for at least 60 minutes (or just leave ignition ON if you have faith in your battery). Than the radio will reset. > This seems like an unusually long time to wait for entering the > wrong code three times! Dave, The idea is to stop thieves from activating _your_ radio in someone else's car. Unplugging the radio simulates a theft condition. Leaving it in the car simulate stolen and reinstalled condition. Leaving the radio ON in your car for 60 minutes is a precaution from brute force guessing the 4-digit (6x6x6x6=1296 possibilities) password. alex f ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 13:10:11 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uuc] [FS] 1988 E30 M3 Posting for a friend.

He used mostly the factory plumbing, but he did his own wiring. I think he said the factory system has three check valves, and he used one. His wiring consisted of 3 relays, and he has the intensive clean function wired to only come on if the wiper stalk is in the fastest position. If you want to see a schematic of his wiring and pictures of his install, let me know. I'm thinking about making a web page with his information since I'm talking with someone about taking his wipe/wash parts off of his hands for my own e28.

But the E30 convertible is only ~200 pounds more. The difference on the E46 323CiC seems a bit excessive. And yes, those gear ratios were for the automatic. I found them for the manual gearbox too, on www.cars.com, and not surprisingly, they're the same as the coupe.
