Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Same spec for both. It looks like the same cover bolt spec is listed for many differentials.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If someone with a current CARFAX account could run one for me. I'm trying to buy a Toyota Tacoma? Vin 5TEWN72N72Z109233 Email me directly @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks in advance, David '98 M3/4/5 "looking for a Tacoma" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 09:30:40 -0800 From: "Scott & Charlotte Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "UUC Digest" <[email protected]> Subject: <E34> Seeking Audio Solutions Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Cross-posted to E34 Yahoo group, more or less.) Just bought a '93 525iA, and in less than 2 weeks we'll be driving it to and from Southern Kahleefornya. That'll be about a 700 mile round trip, not counting the time we spend stuck in L.A. freeway traffic. The car has an original factory stereo which sounds fine, except: 1. No CD changer 2. According to wife and daughter, the tape deck does not work. I'd really like to improve this situation before our trip. Before we found out about the cassette player, I was thinking of looking for one of the two factory CD changers for the trunk. Now I'm considering a couple of options: A. Replace the head unit with an in-dash AM/FM/CD unit. Can anyone recommend a compatible unit? Bonus points for the lighting matching the BMW orangey color. B. Daughter's idea: buy an i-pod (she already has her own), load up our music and get one of those FM transmitter gizmos. Some of the transmitters don't work that well, but a friend of hers has one (costs about $100, she said) that works well. Another option: is there an adaptor thingie to plug an i-pod directly into the factory head unit? As much as the i-pod idea is appealing, I really don't have time to load up an i-pod with CDs before the trip. But it will also take time I don't have to install a new head unit, or take it to someone to install. So at this point I'm not ruling out either idea. Feedback? Suggestions?

Hi Scott, If there's any way of picking up internet radio in a car (there's bound to be somebody on this list who can pronounce on this one) then http://www.pandora.com/ will take care of your needs. Second to Shazam it is one of the most jawdropping things I've come across in the music world. Enjoy the trip. Nick ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(8 messages) **********
