Some minor scratches, but I was able to rub them out. In case you don't know the "i" and "is" fenders are different (I think). ymmv Marco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Baker Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 10:58 AM To: UUC Digest Subject: [UUC] WTB: E36 Driver Fender Hello group, This past Saturday my wife backed into my E36 with our minivan. It wasn't directly behind her, so she got the driver's side fender. It's not really too bad and doesn't affect anything functionally, but if someone happens to have a black one available I'd be interested in buying it. I'm going to try to see how well it pops out, but with that body line there I don't think I'm going to have much success. Thanks, Chris B.

Had you told me this last week I would have thrown my radiator in the trunk on my drive up to Monterey last weekend. If you want it, still in the box, brand new, E36 radiator at cost. Otherwise, it will sit on it's shrine in the garage for me to worship everyday. I love how clean it is. Oh well.

I see all these posting about broken plastic housings on E36 radiators, but only on race cars and in severe climates. Well maybe in some temperate zones too? Would someone please send me the list that was posted recently on sources for reasonably priced radiators for E36 //M3 or another vendor for prefereably all metal housing radiators? Ideally a store in California, SF Bay area is best. Or to ask and maybe the wish will be answered, anyone in the Bay Area have an E36 radiator I could buy or borrow cheap for the few days it will take for a new one to arrive?

I recall a recent posting but the archives search on "coolant" and "anti freeze" isn't finding it. Yes, I picked up a bottle of Water Wetter too.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think the newly available at the local auto parts store Mercedes/Chrysler G05 antifreeze is the best easily available stuff. Second to that is DexCool but don't mix it with others and don't use it in an old type iron engine/brass radiator system. These are good because the pH is low which is good to the plastic parts in the radiator.

A workaround can be to export from Outlook into a text file (such as a csv file). Then import that file into Thunderbird by selecting Tools>Import>[Address Books] or [Mail]>Text File. That opens a Select File window opens that can select from any drive letter on your system or network.

I ended up buying the Fischer ones from The Ultimate Garage, they appear to be of great quality. Fit for my M3/4 is perfect. Have been in the car for about 12K miles and a year. No problems. I use ATE Super Blue or Typ 200 on both cars. My track/auto-x car gets a flush before every track event. Our street car about once a year. Don't know if I'm overdoing it but is cheap insurance.

Rough idle, stalling, hesitation. It feels just like a vacuum leak, but I can find it. If I remove the oil filler cap it makes almost no difference in the idle. If I cover the filler hole with my hand there is almost no suction. Same thing with the dipstick. The boot between the AFM and throttle body is in good shape and tight. All the hoses I can find from the top of the engine seem OK. This weekend I replaced struts/shocks, upper control arms, and sway bar links - as far as areas of the car where I might have knocked something loose. The interior from the front seats to the back is still in a heap if there is something back there I could have messed up. HELP! If I can't find it quick the car goes to the Mechanic tomorrow. I used up my allotment of car time on the suspension. Maybe it isn't a vacuum leak - oh yeah - 5-stomp report says 1444 - no fault.
