Hi Scott, How about laying hands on one of these http://uucurl.com/x.jsp?p=539 That way, while you're travelling around the Bay Area and you see just the right colour you can identify it on the spot. Could lead to some interesting moments in the Victoria's Secret shop though... In the long run it could save you time scouring the paint warehouses of Milan for old Fiat stock.

Classic were the Cunnighams at Le Mans.

They are the clip in/clip out model. They are red and in as new condition. Stored indoors when not used at the track. They are specifically for the E46 chassis. These harnesses were taken out of my wife's E46 M3 (yes, she knows!) as she does not need them anymore as she'll be running the race car at track events in the future. $200 plus actual shipping costs from 89144. Please email me directly at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you have any questions or would like to purchase these.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Okay, I've got two Ti's. One is a 1998 318 Ti and a 1995 325 Ti. Two months ago the after cat o2 fault code came up on the 1998 318 Ti, I checked and reset the code and the light went out. Since then the light as not come back on. Yesterday the check engine light came on while driving the 325 Ti, I checked it - Oxygen Sensor, reset it, drove home, and it never came back on. Question: Should I expect the lights will eventually come back on, or by resetting the code with the peake research tool - will it not appear again?? If so, should I go ahead and replace the o2 sensor, or wait for the light to appear again? Maybe assuming just a brief glitch? Both cars are at that mileage.

Then, with both clips removed, you should be able to just pull the shock towards the inner part of the car and remove it. I've never done this on the M3 before, but I was curious so I went out and investigated. For some reason I had assumed that all hood shocks were created equally - they aren't.
