---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 04:26:41 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: E46 or E36 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm in the same boat, minus the totalled car. Weighing the options between a 325Ci or 330Ci E46 or a E36 M3, considering both about the same price. On one hand the E46 offers current styling and most likely higher resale value when it is time to go (although E46s are like deer around the DC/Baltimore area - too many on the road). On the other hand the M3 offers the horsepower, exclusivity, etc., but comes at a cost of high dollar maintenance/parts, insurance, etc. Consider that your 99 M3 with less than 30K miles is selling for at least $25K??? Consider E46 M3 are on e-bay selling every day for $28 to $38K. Consider a new 3 series is coming out, followed by a new 4 series (M4), which will date the M3 even more, but I'm not sure how the value will be effected. -- Phil In January I totaled my 98 M3 and have been looking for a replacement since. Frustrated with not finding anything decent (IMHO), I then considered a new E46 with the Competition Package. Found a salesman & dealer prepared to give me a fantastic deal on an ordered one, and at about the same time I found a 99 M3 with fewer than 30k miles. If the e36 checks out, I am going to go with that, but am interested in the opinions of the group, plus was wondering if anyone would be as kind as to run a CarFax report on the VIN?� (WBSBG9338XEY83317) Thank you, Roan.

Only if you buy a reset tool. (US$120) I have had airbag light problems on my E46 so I purchased one. The dealer would want to check the codes to see what caused the airbag light which may cause it not to fire in an impact or perhaps fire when no impact has occurred. You could get a independent shop who would probably reset the light and tell you what the fault code is for a minimal fee. Then you could repair the problem yourself. (Assuming there is a real problem.) My airbag light faults out typically if the front passenger seatbelt was not retracted when a passenger exited the vehicle.

A: No, the BMW Assist system only transmits your vehicle's location: 1. When the vehicle initiates the Automatic Collision Notification service after an airbag deploys or a severe rear impact occurs, 2. When the "Customer Relations" and "Service Request" button is pushed on 2004 and later 5 or 6 Series or automatically when these cars' sensors detect the need for upcoming service, or 3. When you request service by pushing the "SOS", "Wrench", Emergency or Roadside Assistance button 4. If you request Stolen Vehicle Recovery service by calling (888) 333-6118 after filing a police report (2005 models produced 10/04 or later, except 7 Series) The BMW Assist Response Center is able to update location information while rendering service, but cannot determine the vehicle's location without the vehicle or occupant initiating a request for service. Vehicle speed or your previous locations are not transmitted.

Do the new 545's with Nav (or for that matter any BMW) have this ability? I have a friend who is thinking of getting a company car (possibly 2006 545 with Nav in a few months) but isn't too comfortable if the company has the ability to look up where he is whenever they feel like it. -- Roger ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 09:55:58 -0500 From: Rich Beebe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UUC Digest <[email protected]> Subject: e30 pass. side power mirror needed Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> looking for a diamondschwartz e30 pass. side power mirror for my iX. if anybody has one laying around, please let me know. black would also be acceptable (painted or non). looking for reasonable price. thanks. rich ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 07:12:11 -0800 From: donna seeley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: e30 pass. side power mirror needed Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Off-roading through the trees on the Beebe estate? :) Donna On 3/22/05 6:55 AM, "Rich Beebe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > looking for a diamondschwartz e30 pass. side power mirror for my > iX. if anybody has one laying around, please let me know. black > would also be acceptable (painted or non). looking for reasonable > price. thanks. > > rich > ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 13:16:47 -0500 From: Steven Schlossman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: e30 pass. side power mirror needed Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quoting donna seeley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Off-roading through the trees on the Beebe estate?
