If it stays after a good long drive, or gets heavy, you may have coolant getting in the oil...not good. But I think your fine. I used to drive propane fueled lifts in cold weather, man did they put some condensation into the oil. We had special oil too help, and the big lifts had separate moisture traps on the filter housings...still had a nice foamy head on the oil cap.

He wants an aftermarket exhaust so he can hear his exhaust sounds. He doesn't want it to be too loud though. I'd appreciate it if anyone experienced in this area could make some recommendations. I once had an E34 525iTA and bought a B&B (Triflow) exhaust. I removed it the next day as it was so loud in a wagon." BMW makes a sport rear muffler available for later six-cylinder 3ers. It has bigger outlets and no exhaust flap, and is designed for a "sporty exhaust note", but it is expensive. P/n 18 10 9 026 767. Failing that, I would go with SuperSprint. Good reputation, not boomy, and you can buy a Supersprint rear box which has very similar tips to the factory muffler.

The BMW Germany site had it a little under 3900lb. The question was always what condition ('wet' with full, or half, etc. tank of gasoline), options (was moonroof standard on Euro M5, it'd easily account for a 75lb difference itself) etc?

From sales data published by BMW or made available on their BMW USA web site: E46 M3 curb weight = 3415 lbs E39 M5 curb weight = 4024 lbs Those are for manual transmission cars. I'm guessing that SMG cars may be a bit heavier. For an alternate source, try www.cars.com. Or for the M5, try your owner's manual.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My friend Bill had an '89 325iC. When he sold it, he had a few leftover parts. He gave me a coolant level sender, part number 61 31 1 384 739. I know these things get flaky and I knew I'd need it one day. Well, that day has come. But this sender is too short for my car, so it would always show that the level is low. I don't need a new sender to do that, my old broken one already does that - show false low coolant. I don't have a working ETK, but I checked the Bav Auto web site. They list part number 61 31 1 378 320 for all 325i models from 1987 to 1990. They also have the 61 31 1 384 739, but I have no way of finding the application from their web site, short of guessing a lot. So can anyone tell me what car this sender fits? I'd love to give it to a local Bimmerhead, but I don't know if it is for an Isetta or a 745Li.
