IIRC, on the yurro cars (where most Alpina cars went) the license plate would be mounted below the bumper. Jon ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

You'd need about 1/4" longer screws. But I'd find a way to mount the plate on the bumper. :) Donna On 6/27/05 6:21 PM, "Jonathan Brush" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > From: Mark Gold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sez: > > Donna, > > Very cool item, but where on earth do you put > your license plate? > > IIRC, on the yurro cars (where most Alpina cars went) > the license plate would be mounted below the bumper. > > Jon > ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 21:42:53 -0400 From: Ben Keyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Need Alpina part info Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jon wrote: > IIRC, on the yurro cars (where most Alpina cars went) > the license plate would be mounted below the bumper. ah no. http://i13.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/61/da/a1_3.JPG http://i6.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/61/88/69_1_b.JPG http://i21.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/5f/ba/70_1_b.JPG the plate goes on a mounting bracket like shown in the second pic sans plate, it just goes _over_ the nifty Alpina Heckblende. tho I think there's another suitable fun German word for the part which has a plate over it rather than just between the taillights.

Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [E36] Radio and HVAC -no fan Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There was that trick with resoldering some capacitor on the board. It is in the acrhives on this site I believe. I don't remember the exact specs on it. Something like a 4.7uF capacitor. I had the same problem with the fan saying it was on but not actually blowing. Soldered in a new capacitor for $.99 and it cured the problem. Even though you replaced the board I would start there since it is only a buck to try and fix it. No guesses on the radio. Do you get sound with the CD? Is it just that you have no reception or is there no power to the speakers? Do you get the white noise from the speakers when the volume is turned up? You did open up the fuse box and check that there were not any blown ones, right? I am not sure if the radio and blower share a fuse or even a ground for that matter. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M Kittock Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 8:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UUC] [E36] Radio and HVAC -no fan I have two problems that have cropped up in the last week. 1.

Thanks to Donna Seeley for letting me drop by and look at the steering rack on her M3. The one I bought looks exactly like hers, right down to the numbers on the plate riveted to the place where the pinion gear tube meets the rack tube. Pretty much just as Ed described. So, right part in trunk, all I need now is the time to install it. And the oil pump. Unfortunately, as I was preparing to crawl under her car, I discovered a puddle of oil that was, um, how you say, puddlier than usual. Bummer, I sure hope that is easy/cheap to fix. Wait, it is an M3, what am I saying? Guess she shouldn't just pour some "miracle" stop-leaky stuff in there.

My list is as follows: 1. Quality torque wrench. 2. Angle gauges for head bolts. 3. Gear puller 4. Piston ring compressor 5. Mic's (probably dial and caliper type, but is inside needed?). 6. Valve spring compressor (specific one needed?). Any thing I've left out. -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 21:08:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: BMW Works Rider Ernst Jacob Henne Dies (May be old news to some) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I recently came across this obituary on one of BMW's greatest, for those interested. John Weese Nittany Bimmers ................................. Motorcycles BMW Works Rider Ernst Jacob Henne Dies Itâs been a horrible year for motorcycle competitors, with the deaths of Paris-Dakar standouts Fabrizio Meoni and José Manuel Perez. Count Ernst Jacob Henne was among those racing legends that passed in 2005, but thankfully, it was old age that claimed Henne and not the cruel sport. Henne was a former BMW works rider who secured almost countless victories for BMW in the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in 1904 in Germany, and in 1919 began his apprenticeship as an automotive mechanic. He quickly moved on to motorcycles and, by 1923, he was competing in his first motorcycle race in Muhldorf, Germany, where he raced to a third-place finish. In the fall of 1925, he was racing in the 350cc class at the Monza Grand Prix. At the end of the 1920s, Henne was regarded as one of the best, most versatile motorcyclists in Germany. In 1937, he raced a fully enclosed BMW to a certified speed of 279 km/h (173.36 mph), which stood as a world record until 1951. Henne died at his home in the Canary Islands on May 24, 2005 at the age of 101. - By Craig Fitzgerald ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(14 messages) **********
