(I happen to have a couple of them lying around if you want them, going cheap!) They switched to ball joints with the 96+, see this page: <http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BG93&mospid=47488&btnr=33_100 4&hg=33&fg=30> > Has anyone here changed these before?

(might be the simple solution but more labor is required and an > alignment needed post repair) I recently had to R&R a rear *lower* control arm outboard ball joint, which is pretty much the same deal. They're pressed into the rear hub-carrier. You can improvise a puller with some 7/16" threaded rod (I used that part from my Victory Product Design RTAB puller), or a really long high grade M12 fine thread bolt if you can find one, plus a couple of big sockets as pusher/receiver. This worked quite easily for me. > Looks like this is perhaps the tool set? > BMW 334-190 Rear Wheel Carrier R&R Tool Set That would be for the rear subframe bushings.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Horrible - but apparently only for the US? I had always used the "Ultimate Driving Machine" as an example of how an ad slogan could describe the very mission of a company, if chosen well. Then I noticed that the www.bmw.com international site had "Sheer Driving Pleasure" where the US site had "Ultimate...". Checking it in German, "Freude am Fahren", Italian - "Piaciere di guidare"... both "Driving pleasure". So were we the only country that had a good slogan?

Why is the intake plenum off a B6 3.5 (Alpina E30M3)? Maybe it's the same? I dunno. "A" (singular) Garrett T88? That's a big motha, though if you were running just one, you'd need something that big to make 610rwhp. Not exactly what you'd put 2 into to replace the stock pair of Garrett T25s, which are pretty small. 26psi of boost? Yikes. That's probably around double what stock boost would have been. How strong can you really build a M30? It has some non-Alpina (ASA AR1s, not BBS as claimed) wheels with Alpina centercaps (major pet peeve of mine). Not a fan of doing up these things in vintage DTM warpaint, though I've seen much worse. And if the carpet is clean, don't photograph it with nasty floormats. Maybe it's just an interesting car that needs to be presented better. >http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-M3-M3-BMW-E30-Alpina-B10-BiTurbo-M3-TURBO-MONSTER-600HP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6131QQihZ015QQitemZ250016591089QQrdZ1 > >Anyone have a comment. >Some things don't seem right about this car. > >-Kevin > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only > for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have > been specifically authorized to receive it.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some nice pieces (Brembo brakes) and some cheap bits (ASA wheels, assorted buttons and switches as well as that Alpina badges on the hood and ashtray (can we say tacky!!)), and I'm not sure about those seats...real SRD's they are not. Plus there are no clear shots of the motor visible in that particular car. For all we know those came from another car.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No, it's not a real Alpina at all. A guy named Pat in FL has a hankering for putting turbo's on BMW's, and this is one he did. More info can be found about it on www.s14.net. The car lost it's soul in order to go fast in a straight line-a shame if you ask me.

For Sale: a '97 E36 //M3 exhaust and pair of rear shocks, removed after 15k miles, plus a good clean spare radiator with 60k on it, removed when replaced with a E46 radiator, plus a good 3.23 LSD core differential, that had the cap bolt head problem but worked fine otherwise and until then, and in an all wood shipping crate. Package deal, $325. takes it all, or $175. without the diff., cash talks. For pickup or can deliver SF Bay area. Or, does anyone buy differential cores? How much is the core charge when buying a rebuilt diff? ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(12 messages) **********
