Rules: 1) Talk about BMWs and related things. 2) No flaming unless the person really, really deserves it... then fire away! Keep it brief, no extended flame-wars will be tolerated. 3) Don't waste bandwidth or time - use common sense, don't quote an entire message when a snippet will do. 4) Private advertising (i.e., "my 635CSi is for sale") is allowed. Commercial advertising only by authorized advertisers. Check with [EMAIL PROTECTED] before posting anything commercial. Unauthorized commercial advertising will not be tolerated. 5) Heed the ListMaster's warnings: excessive flaming, <OT> off-topic posting or <WOB> waste of bandwidth posting will result in subscription termination. 6) There is no rule number 6. 7) No whining. 8) Correct e-mail etiquette is required. Your e-mail must be configured properly so it does not send garbage characters, HTML tags, etc. Use a proper subject header, not just the "reply to" header. Do not type in ALL CAPS, the 'caps lock' key is right above the 'shift' key, get familiar with it. Bad e-mail will get you booted. Visit http://www.uucdigest.com/plaintext.html if you need help configuring your e-mail to send ASCII text. 9) Have fun! I want to call special attention to people who are being lazy and leaving the subject line as "Re: [bmwuucdigest] digest" - this is really inconsiderate for your fellow readers. Change the subject to one appropriate for your message. Thanks! Please address any replies to this message directly to me off list.

Make sure you know which alternator you have in you car before you order a VR, there are a couple of different brands (Bosch, Valeo) which use different voltage regulators and BMW doesn't know which one is in your car.

How about some of the bigger ones...I have seen as high as 355MM. E46 323i/Ci came with 287mm fronts. These will fit under 15" wheels, since that's what low-spec 323s came with. 323Cic/iT, all 328 and all 325s came with 300mm fronts, which require 16s. 330 and standard M3 are 325mm, with the latter running thicker rotors, and these need 17s. I had to find and buy a 17" donut when I put the 325mm units on my 325iT. Rears can be trickier from a fitment standpoint, as different models use different e-brake drum diameters, which can go as far as a difference in the trailing arms and e-brake component mounting. > > > >I am still in the market for brake and suspension goodies, so if > you got anything to sell or suggestions, feel free to contact me. > > > >David in Richmond, VA > >Search the ARCHIVES:http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] > > >__________________________________________________________________________ >In memory of Michel Potheau - friend, enthusiast, founder of the BMW CCA. > >UUC Motorwerks - BMW Performance Fine-tuning and home of the Ultimate >Short Shifter - accept no substitutes! >908-874-9092 . http://www.uucmotorwerks.com Kazuto Okayasu Manager, Desktop Support Services Administrative Computing Services, University of California, Irvine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 8:21:00 -0500 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Maverick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, UUC <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Silly Question - Does the ti spare clear some of the larger brakes?

I don't recall that they cooled the samples, but it was quite clear which bit of steel they were testing. The Titanic sample snapped clean off like a bit of ceramic and they did indeed blame it mostly on the sulfur content plus the cold water. "This steel would not make it anywhere near a shipyard today". The article went on to say that this helped explain why some verbal eyewitness accounts claimed "walls of water" were pouring into the ship, which never made sense with a "big nasty tear along the hull". The hull simply snapped like an egg shell.
