First thing to suspect with BMW taillights is the bulb itself... the LKM is very
sensitive to bulb resistance, and many aftermarket brands are out of spec.  They
light up, but they do not have the correct resistance to make the LKM happy.
Always use Osram/Sylvania bulbs in any BMW.

After that, make sure the electrical contacts are clean, use a rough pen eraser
on the bulb and the socket tab.

Dielectric grease does NOT help conductivity.  It is used in electrical
situations only because it resists heat and blocks O2 (to reduce corrosion
build-up).  If anything, dielectric grease will make your electrical connection
worse.  I suggest cleaning that stuff out as much as possible.

Those three things should fix the problem.  After that, check the harness
connections for corrosion.

Hi listers

Can the S-38 engine from a M6 be dropped into the E36
engine bay ?  How much would such a job cost ?

Also, would someone know the cost of replacing the
self-levelling shocks on a M6 with standard Bilsteins
?

TIA

Henry

Joe,

Thanks for the reply.

I am confused.  The bottle of CRC Di-electric grease I have states;
"improves all electrical connections in adverse conditions." If it does not
conduct electricity how is it supposed to do that?  Also, it states that it
insulates (proves your point) against fog, moisture, etc.  So it seems to be
claiming to do both.  Obviously I was not aware of this stuffs true
capabilities/intended use.  I thought I had heard/read people mention
di-electric grease as a means to aid in electrical connections.  I guess I
heard wrong, or did not get the gist of what was needed.

Anyway, I will try to clean the contacts again, and try a new bulb for kicks
and grins.  However in case I was not clear the first time, the problem
seems to be in the tail/brake light housing, not the small holder for the
bulb.

Andrew

If the grease conducts electricity, it will short out the circuit.  Grease
improves connections in _adverse_ conditions, meaning when the terminals
would corrode.

Hi Chris,

About 300 or so were built for MY2002.  You can find a
bunch of M Coupe info on www.368s.com, including the
numbers built for each year.  As far as I know there
is no specific mailing list group for the M coupers. 
Bunch of them chat on the usual BMW forums bimmerfest,
bimmerforums, and roadfly.

Do you see any problems with fuel consumption, etc?"

I see a problem with performance, possibly.  Despite your terminology ("325i
coupe") I will assume you are in North America, with a manual-transmission
318is imported by BMW NA, because it's easier :).

M44-powered 318ises like yours have the same 3.45 rear end (manual
transmission) from the M42 version, whilst its European counterparts were
granted a fractionally longer 3.38.  An odd product engineering decision -
there's barely a 2% difference between the two.

The diff, limited-slip or otherwise, from a manual US-market 325i has a
3.15:1 ratio; from an automatic, 3.91.  In the first instance, the gearing
would be too tall (over 40 mph in 1st, for instance); in the second, too
short (giving you less than 48 mph in 2nd, and way less than 20 mph per 1000
rpm in top).

Your best bet is to seek a used LSD from an earlier M42 car.  Or, see if
someone can install a shorter gearset in the diff unit you already have.
3.64, as used in South Africa-market cars for a while, might be a nice
compromise.

A US spec E30 325i with stick shift has a 3.73.  6 cyl cars have the medium
diff.  4 cyl cars have the small diff (///M models go up one size).  The
driveshaft and axles may not fit perfectly.

Subject: clutch goes to the floor - hydraulics?
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hey guys,

Last night I was driving home from work and the clutch travel had increased by 50% 
before the 
clutch would disengage (pushing down on the pedal). The clutch itself still felt fine, 
grabbed 
strong. This morning I went out to drive it and the clutch went all the way to the 
floor and did 
not disengage. Since the clutch seems OK (never slipped or chattered), I'm imagining 
that the 
problem is the hydraulic system; master cylinder or slave cylinder. I checked the 
brake fluid 
level and it's AOK so I know that's not the problem. Does this sound familiar to 
anyone? I have 
the Bentley manual so I can do the repair myself, but I'm looking for some "Yep, 
sounds familiar, 
watch out for problem X when doing the repair" or "You may want to consider doing or 
looking at X 
before tearing into the hydraulics system".

Thanks guys, this is on a 1990 325is. Just turned 140k miles.

Bleed the clutch (and brakes while you are at it) using the procedure
specified in the Bentley manual.  That should cure your problem.  If the
problem persists after proper bleeding then you are looking at either a
new clutch master or slave cylinder, or the flexible rubber hose that
connects to the slave.

Hey Scott, to quote you: yup, this sounds familiar...

The same thing happened to me this spring as I pulled my 1995 M3 out of
'minor' storage.  My problem was a very small leak in the slave
cylinder.  $60 for a new slave cylinder later, all was well.  The
install was very straight forward...but I read somewhere that you need
to be careful when installing the new slave cylinder: Apparently you can
mis-install it such that the rod doesn't push against the clutch (not
the clutch, but whatever the slave cylinder rod pushes against to
disengage the clutch) and if the rod is mis alighned, it will be pushed
all the way out when you press the clutch pedal, not only ruining your
new slave cylinder, but leaving the rod inside your tranny - which you
then need to remove to get to the rod.  Again, I didn't have any issues
with this and I think you'd really have to mis-align the slave to get
this to happen...but again, just somethign I read on another forum...

Additionally, I think Bentleys recommends bleeding the slave both
uninstalled (installed doesn't allow air to the ideal bleed point)...and
bleeding again after installed.  I also read that you don't have to do
both, but I did...

Good luck!  Battman

Scott,

If the clutch failure was preceded by a whine with the clutch in, it could also be the 
throwout bearing.  On my car the clutch pedal travel suddenly got longer when the TO 
bearing disintegrated and the clutch fork was trying to push on the pressure plate 
fingers with what remained of it.  If the failure was not preceded by whining, then 
grinding from the clutch fork hitting the (rotating) pressure plate, then the metallic 
zinging of broken pressure plate fingers bouncing around the bellhousing, then your 
diagnosis of a hydraulic problem is probably correct.    Just wanted to throw it out 
there (pun intended) as another possibility.  If you pull the slave cylinder out 
(easily done without the need for opening the hydraulic lines) and the plastic pivot 
ball on the end looks good then you're probably OK.  I don't recall if the hole for 
the slave cylinder is big enough to get an inspection mirror (think dentist) through 
it, but while you have the slave cylinder off I'd suggest trying to take a peek in 
there to see how things look.

Seeking ECU remapper:
     Have an interesting project that is producing 6% dynoed hp and 
torque increases on top of previous improvements, for an OBDII E36 //M3 
with stock air sensor.
     Now looking for a remapper to help dial it in and compensate for 
side effects which occur with stock and common aftermarket remaps.
Thanks,

Barry.

Jim Conforti used to offer remapping software on his original site, though the 
bonnevillemotorwerks
site is under construction at this point.  Not sure if you'd want to discuss it with 
him, but I
think he's still available at his xmission.com address.
