I'm curious to see what some of the other writers at AutoCar and what the Evo folks think of it." Well, the lack of weight has probably the biggest impact, and the 17 bhp increase is felt more as an improvement in response rather than outright shove. The balance and grip is supposedly as good as it gets, and the only negative - for some people - is that the car is still "only" a 3-series, and a car this good should really have "GT3" or "Stradale" written on the back. Odd point of view, although I sort of understand. I wonder how good a regular M3 on warmed-up Cup Sports would be. "I'd still opt for a Caterham R300/R400 rather than an Elise" Likewise. A Radial XTR3 for me, though, and a complementary all-red-meat diet.

They were on my wife's 2002 when it hit a rock: http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/rock.jpg Two wheels have tires attached that have sufficient tread. The third has a tire that is flat. All are straight and in fair condition. Pics are here: http://tinyurl.com/kz0i We'd like $100 for the three, with preference going to local sale. We'll also be travelling to Button willow in a week, and Thunder Hill the weekend after, and can arrange for delivery to those locales or thereabouts as well. If $100 is too much, make an offer. Jason ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 16:15:43 -0700 From: "Gene M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [uuc] NOx maximums in CA--need data I'm in the process of gathering data to determine if the current CA maximums for NOx are unrealistic for the M30 engine. BMW designed these engines to be low on HC and CO during the 80's, probably resulting in higher NOx levels when measured today. I've been going over my past smog tests and looking at old emails where others have posted their smog results over the years, and it looks like a lot of 80's BMW's with the M30 engine may not be capable of meeting these the new NOx maximums. If you passed a couple of years ago, take a look at your numbers and compare them against the new maximums. For the 1987, the NOx maximums are as follows (Both the maximums for CO and HC have remained the same): Year 2001 NOx Max at 15 mph 1020 ppm NOx Max at 25 mph 880 ppm Year 2003 NOx Max at 15 mph 767 ppm NOx Max at 25 mph 706 ppm CA started testing for NOx only 6-7 years ago, and the measurements are in parts per million (PPM). The EPA and CA Air Resources Board new car emissions standards that I could find for cars manufactured in the 80's are in grams per mile (GPM). I could not locate specific information by car manufacturers or models. My question is, does anyone know if there is a formula to convert PPM measurements for the CA tests done at 15mph and 25mph into a GPM quantity? I've been checking the internet and have a couple of emails out looking for this info, but no luck yet. I also need to know what test the GPM maximums that the EPA imposed on cars manufactured in the 80's were based on (the information on the history of the Motor Vehicle Emissions Federal Test Procedure that was in effect in the 80's doesn't seem to be available on the US EPA website or at the CA ARB or CA BAR websites). Also, if anyone comes across any data that shows the levels of NOx, HC and CO that cars in the 80's were producing when new or a few years old, please let me know.
