Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When did BMW re-define "curb weight"? It used to be a full tank and all fluids topped off, and all standard factory equipment, but no cargo or passsengers. Or is it different in the various markets?

I would like to possibly trade my M5 (as seen here: http://www.inlacal.com/M5) for someone's e46 M3 plus a little cash. To that end, I'm only looking for M3's in Alpine White or Imola Red with black interior (no other colors/combinations). The potential trade car must have navigation, bi-xenon and a 6 speed. The more-loaded the car, the better. If this interests anyone, let me know.

Would consider trade towards an X5, or quality Chevy/GMC tow vehicle. Will negotiate a good price for fellow digest member. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2443640085 Ed Tisdale ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 01:57:17 -0500 From: "KMS - Brett Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "UUC Digest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: 61 31 1 384 739 ?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Replacing my belts, I discovered the shorter alternator belt on my car (2.5L single VANOS) doesn't match the belt I got from either the dealer or Pep Boys (Pep boys was my alternative solution on a Sunday). My current belt has four grooves which fits the outer crank-shaft pulley, though the alt. pulley has five grooves. The replacement belts have five grooves, which fit the alt. pulley fine but hang over the outer crank pulley by one groove. What's going on???

He is just North of United BMW on Hwy 9 on the right. He does great work.

The fuel consumption is abnormally high, and I suspect a faulty o2 sensor. However, before I go through the various suspects (water temp sensor, 02 sensor, etc), can anyone tell me what the differences are between the 323 engine and the 325. I'd be greatful. As for the rest of the car, it is a curious hybride between the "bottom scale " 316 and the 325 US. It has front electric windows, but cranks in the rear, and a cranking sunroof. Surprisingly, it does not have power steering, which makes for a great road feel when it's moving, but parking is a pain. Also, if John Firestone is on this list (or if anyhone knows his e-mail) could he please contact me off list: I'd like some info on buying parts in France or Germany, Sincerely, John ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:43:05 -0500 From: TR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: '88' 3254is no spark Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A friend has an 88 325is , the timing belt broke a tooth and he is replacing it. Now he has no spark and no voltage at the coil. Is this a sign of a bad ecu? Thanks in advance for any help. Paulo ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 15:57:20 -0500 From: "Chris Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "UUC Digest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Bleeding question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've seen/heard it recommended numerous times to make sure the clutch slave has been bled when people are having issues with a soft/low pedal. Perhaps I don't understand the system properly. Is the clutch side of the reservoir not dedicated? I'm under the impression it is, at least on my E36, and would be surprised to hear otherwise. If the clutch circuit had air in it, is it possible that this could be felt in the brake pedal? How? I always bleed the slave when doing a flush, but I don't see the need when just doing brake work. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Chris B. '94 325i ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(9 messages) **********
