Any large dark trash bags?

I know BMP was giving away a storage bag like this a few months ago when you bought a wheel and tire set, but I don't know of anywhere to buy just the bag. Anyone have any sources?

A little closer attention shows that I got some shit backwards in that last post. The 453 radiator does NOT have an integrated oil cooler. It is designed for manual trans or a separate cooler mounted in front of it. The 138 also does NOT have an integrated cooler, it's designed for cars with manual trans or a heat exchanger mounted to the transmission for automatic fluid cooling. The applications I listed are correct, including production dates. However, the 530i WITH integrated cooler uses 17 11 1 723 398. Regardless, the original person should have been able to use the 453 in a late 530, UNLESS, it's possibly missing the mounting holes for the external cooler. Without having the 953 and the 138 side by side, it'll be hard to tell why they're different. Sorry for any confusion.

I've asked the seller if it was the lack of mounting holes for the external cooler that caused him to have to get ahold of a different radiator for his car. I'll let you know. Regardless, so it seems the 458 will fit my 1995 540ia. I'm going to go ahead and buy it. Thanks again for all your help.

I was going to do some elaborate horn button installation with pigtail (phone like) wires like the ones you see on race cars but then I decided to wait until the car is a dedicated race car to install the quick release and forget about the horn, instead I need to wire in a radio for Ben to call the starts for me <g>. For now I have a Momo hub that still allows the use of the horn. The cheap route IMO is to find a used Momo hub adapter $45-50 and a suede steering wheel (Momo, Sparco, etc) that's on sale ~$100. If I buy a race car this weekend my hub adapter may be on sale. :-) Carlos. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.

Large plastic leaf/trash bags aren't good enough? They're certainly cheap enough. If your garage's level of interior decoration requires something more elaborate you could get vinyl wheel covers as used for SUV wheels, about $15 each on the web. I use these to transport track wheels inside my M3.
