We have had the car for about two months and after about $1K worth of parts it is in excellent mechanical condition. Needs nothing. Well...it *wants* a few parts from UUC...but it *needs* nothing right now ;-) Actually, the first parts the car got were UUC parts, a clutch stop, transmission mounts and enforcers, and clutch pedal bushings. That was $100 well spent. Here are the pics: http://tinyurl.com/7pfqc Dave T. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 16:14:44 -0800 From: "T WALROD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "bmw digest" <[email protected]> Subject: carfax request por favor, Colorado questions, V8 vs I6 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1995 530iT, VIN: wbahk2320sgf81158 Located south of Denver - So is this a salt zone or does Colorado depend on "sand". Why does MSN autos think that the 530iT has 2" lower headroom in front than the 525iT? Is that a function of the standard mondo sunroof in the 530? What do you 530 owners think of the v8 vs. the I6 - again, MSN auto is claiming coil issues with the 525 and nothing of note with the 530. Fuel economy numbers are comparable, perhaps a function of the standard 5 speed auto in the 530, and the extra ponies indicate it could take an additional 300# payload penalty over it's 120# extra weight and still have a slightly superior Hp/weight ratio. What say the experts? Positives, negatives, gotchas... any input is appreciated - My 533i only SEEMS like it's going to last forever and I need some load carrying capability.

The sedan probably is speced with no sunroof. I have both a sedan and a touring and the headroom seems the same in each. The V-8 is smooth but more expensive to maintain. Its problems are well known, leaky valve covers and stuff. The 6 cyl really wants more gears but it doesn't have them. Its not a big problem but performance suffers. On the bright side, the 4 speed transmission is much cheaper to replace than the 5 speed in the V-8. A 4 liter 6 speed conversion is much easier starting with a V-8 <grin>. Just get an M5 Touring <more grins>.

Colorado generally uses cinders or sand. Occasionally the cities use a non-NaCl chemical pre-treatment if they can get it on the roads in advance of a snowfall. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 20:14:27 -0800 (PST) From: Justin Weese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UUC Digest <[email protected]> Subject: NE Ohio - I need a used e30 passenger side fender Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Doesn't matter what color.

I assume the rear of the fender is held on by screws right? Going to attempt a temporary fix over the winter on a wrecked E30 fender.
