---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 01:09:05 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UUC Digest <[email protected]> Subject: <E36> sunroof question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey all, I pretty much completed the sunroof fix for the sliding sunroof liner (gotta pull the metal roof part off tomorrow again to realign the sliding roof level with the rest of the roof), but after getting everything back together, when I tilt the roof up, the liner doesn't seem to move as far back as I remember it did in my old E36. I could be wrong, but I was wondering if someone with a working roof could measure how far back from the front seal the sliding liner moves when the roof is tilted for vent. It could start working properly tomorrow after I realign everything, but I want to confirm on a working sunroof. I pulled and pushed the sliders in the tracks to study their movement, and so stuff was misaligned after remounting. Hopefully I won't need to pull the cassette again to get everything lined up. I'll be working on the write up this week, and I will let everyone know when it's done! Thanks!

Actually, the CNN video is the most accurate one I have seen, most of the details are there. One thing they don't mention is the whole reason this guy didn't get away with it was that he started bragging to people about it as time started to pass. Eventually, one of the people he was bragging to realized this guy deserved to get busted. Then, this numbnut realized he had told too many details to too many people and he needed to move the buried BMW. He broke the backhoe he borrowed in order to dig it up so his unearthing plan didn't go so well.

It was a 5 series. I believe a 1997 E39 540i. > Why was the engine blown? Can Brett rebuild it? ;-P Not sure what he did to the engine. Maybe the radiator failed... (that is a joke, his father owned a radiator shop and the E39 radiators are prone to failure...never mind). Not even Brett can rebuild it at this point. :-) Regards, Rich ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 21:05:10 -0500 From: Chris Eck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: fs: 1997 BMW, dirty Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've read about this but had no idea it was a local story.

There are multiple options, and while exploring them, my wife threw a monkey wrench into the works. Wives do that kind of thing. My temporary solution: We had our daughter load a dozen of our CDs onto her i-Pod. I also ordered a Monster Cable iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter. (It is actually cheaper to order this from Amazon and have it shipped 2-day than it is to buy it locally.) This will do for our quick trip to/from Southern Cal. The big disadvantage, for our daughter, is that she won't be able to listen to her own music on her earphones while we're listening to our music on the car stereo. We still have the longer-term problem to resolve. There is the "i-Pod vs other brands of MP3 players" debate. Then the issue of connectivity to either the factory or aftermarket stereo. I was going to avoid this debate by buying an Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit at Best Buy for $169. It came with free installation. But wait! The sales kid said that it would not be compatible with our amplifier (this may not be true), so they were gonna charge me darn near the cost of the stereo to remove the amp! Finally, my wife (it is her car, remember) said that she refuses to remove the face of a detatchable face stereo, and she does not want the guilt that will come with the stereo being stolen with the faceplate that she does not remove. So far I have not been able to find an aftermarket head unit without a detatchable face. Apparently a few late E36s (mainly Z3s) came with an AM/FM/CD head unit that is plug-and-play in our E34. But used ones are hard to find. So we have a short term solution and a continuing dilema for the eventual permanent solution. Anyway, thanks to everyone for your input, and for the various offers to borrow equipment for our trip.
