And the total playing time is probably less than 10 hrs. Comes with Blaupunkt factory wiring harness. Removable **black** face plate, with adjustable amber/orange lighting. None of the fancy graphics, etc. Just plain digits and clock on the display. This is the closest CD head unit that I could find to match the BMW interior on my E30 M3. And the best part is that you can connect it directly to the factory speaker wires even when you have the amp in still. Best offer over 75.00 takes it.

(My major malfunction in previous attempts was waiting too long to begin the 5 pedal depressions. I always thought you were supposed to wait until the other lights went out. Oh well.) So, as the check engine flashes, this is what it does: Short flash Pause Long flash Pause Short flash Pause Long flash Pause etc., etc. It keeps doing this repeatedly, seemingly without end (ok, I watched it 6 times before I lost patience and tried again - and it did the same thing). Anyone seen this? What does it mean? Thanks, Neil Pause 1994 Pause 325is Pause __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Is that right or wrong? Other respondents have mentioned Position 1 as the correct one.

I'm sure the winners will be posted soon. sweet. I looked at the 2002 winners list and figured it was just a typo, and they meant 2003. I got a good feeling this year. I slipped 'em $25 and I think that'll make things happen for me. After I take delivery, I'll buy some nice accessories from UUC motorwerks. :) - -- "It is an honor to be Cookie Monster." -Sesame Street spokeswoman Audrey Shapiro ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 04:31:23 -0400 From: "Bill Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [uuc] BMW CCA Raffle This question comes up every year.

The last two mornings I found a small puddle of antifreeze (blue BMW fluid) under the right front of the car, about under the right side of the radiator. The overflow tank is 2-3" low. Do I likely have a cracked radiator neck, perhaps just a loose hose, or a leak somewhere else? Thanks in advance!

To summarize: ECU 1 is a 173 from an '89 ix 5spd ECU 2 is a 351 fron an '89 ix auto, now 5spd I have a lead on a Jim C. chip for a 173 ECU, but the 351 ECU is what is currently in the car. If the 173 ECU can be swapped into my '89 ix 5spd, I'm good to go. Brian's link does not list the 351 as a replacement for the 173, but I just don't see how that can be. Are there wiring harness differences? What else could it be? I would just swap them for a test but I'm concerned about harness difference that might cause damage. Can anyone enlighten me on the dos and don'ts of ECU swapping?

Also, I know some folks at the O'fest, hopefully they would call me if I won :-) I still have my fingers crossed, however....

I'm posting it here in case someone missed it: http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=137540 Someone then asked for proof to show that this is not a hoax. From the Orange County Register: ******* CHP identifies car-crash victim ********** The man who died over the weekend in what officials said might have been a speed contest on Santiago Canyon Road was identified Monday as James O. Wimani, 19, of Fountain Valley. Wimani was a passenger in a 2003 BMW M3 driven by David Huie, 20, of Huntington Beach, CHP officials said. The accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Saturday as Huie drove westbound in excess of 80 mph nearing the Foothill (241) Toll Road, the CHP said. The car left the road, hit a utility pole, overturned and caught fire. Huie and a second passenger escaped the vehicle; Wimani was trapped inside. Huie suffered major injuries, and passenger Jordan Foster, 19, had moderate injuries. - - John McDonald ************************** It's a sad day when something like this happens.
