In short, if you install the correct Euro DE ellipsoid lights on an E23, E30 or E34 you need one type of connector (one part for low, one for high). It is NOT the same as a Euro light conversion for an E36. I'll be documenting this with some pictures to post on the E34 site. Will also be selling my US Ellipsoid lights shortly, good upgrade for earlier E30's (silver bumper). Thanks again to those who helped, Gregory in Georgia P.S. Listing a bunch of BMW related stuff on ebay, time to clear out stuff. M1 factory press photos, rare RC BMW turbo prototype car and more .... start with gregory891 as a seller and have fun. M3 E36 factory forged wheels to go there rather soon as well ! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jun 2006 23:37:08 -0400 From: Neil Maller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Helmet Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 6/3/06 8:20 PM, "Stan Jackson Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ANY offers? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Stan Jackson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> I've got an HJC CL-5 open face Snell M95 helmet for sale.

With respect Stan, when you first posted this I wondered why anyone would buy a Snell 95 helmet at this point in its life cycle, for however little money? For DE use it's got less than 5 months approval life left in it. It's probably worth less than the shipping cost. (I say this still smarting from the recent $400 replacement cost of my own SA95 helmet.)

Time to screw with things... I've never been really happy with the transmission smoothness except on fresh fluid. I am also not comfortable with the long intervals (every inspection II) between changes as the car sees a bunch of track time. I R'd TFMs and gained the vast knowledge of 1.9 qts for the trans and 1.2 for the diff, but no info on the spec of the fluids involved. Are these fluids gleaned from a special gland of an endangered species and only available at your BMW factory service center, or will a simple change to Redline high temp ATF for the trans and 75w90 for the diff work just fine?

I've found that on an E46 328Ci, Royal Purple retains its fresh fluid feel longer than Redline in the transmission, but the car hasn't been seeing as many track days as it had in its Redline days, so who knows if that has anything to do with it. I use ATF and 75W90, but I'm not sure if the M3 rear diff will need something different. I also know some people who swear by the BMW fluid, but changed out frequently (30K miles). --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 15:26:58 -0700 (PDT) From: "Kazuto Okayasu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: E46M3 trans and diff fluid recommendations Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I R'd TFMs and gained the vast knowledge of 1.9 qts for the trans and 1.2 > for the diff, but no info on the spec of the fluids involved.

MTF-LT-2 (I've read that this has already been superceded by LT-3) can be bought in 5l jugs from the stealer at $$$ (~$25/l) I actually did this and have 3l+ left. After I put this stuff in my 01 E46 wagon, 1st sometimes became impossible to engage without fiddling, so after living with it for a while, I drained it and put Redline D4ATF in. No change. Bleh. I know 2 other people with E46 wagons who went straight from factory fill to D4ATF with this same problem. Nobody I know with any other E46 has had problems with either D4ATF or MTL. Bizarre. Non-M diffs with no LSD (boo) take plain 75w90. M3s use 75w140 with LSD additive, and Redline 75w140 seems to work nicely. I have noticed that the Redline stuff gets really dark on tracked cars after <15k on them, though. -- Kazuto Okayasu Administrative Computing Services University of California, Irvine ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 17:59:43 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Subject: Re: E46M3 trans and diff fluid recommendations Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In a message dated 04.06.2006 19:53:06 Westeuropäische Sommerzeit, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Any high quality synthetic should work fine.

I really did not like how long one has to wait between shifts. Esp cold shifts. Once the car/trans was warm, I had no trouble. But I would stickwith Redline's ATFD4. I have to park my car outside.... and that first few minutes of driving I must be able to shift. I am curious IF anyone uses Mobil-1s Synthetic ATF??? I think its even more viscous at low temps. Any feedback???

Its pretty much a straight 10W oil. In my E34M5 I use Mobil 1 ATF with some molybdenum disulfide mixed in. It works great. Gary Derian > Any high quality synthetic should work fine.
