I don't know about the Movit set up but quickly checking their catalog shows that StopTech has the same kit P/N for all E36 M3's, M Roadsters, and M Coupes. Hope this is helpful. Cheers.

All 325 and 328 front and rears are interchangeable (some very late production 328 use different rear brake lines - one long soft lines each side instead of two soft lines with a connecting hard line). Some 323 have a weird rear rotor/ebrake clearance difference, and 318 rear is unique. All E36 M3 (including Euro) are interchangeable. - Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: [UUC] <E36> Movit Brake Question Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 16:12:39 -0800 > Anyone know if the early Movit setup (Porsche calipers and > rotors) for pre-1995? will work with a post '95 E36?

Just get yourself a big-a$$ breaker bar and socket that you don't care about, wedge the breaker bar against the garage floor, and then bump the starter motor to loosen that nut! You laugh, but it works if the motor spins the right way. Starter motors have monster torque! :-) Using this technique greatly contributes to global warming, the death of endangered species, and may get you nominated for a Darwin award. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I darn sure don't have the stupid gecko insuring my car, so use this advice at your own risk.

It features two screeching children - obviously never disciplined or taught proper behavior - who are excited about some Christmas gift they have just opened. I was surprised at the end of the spot to hear (the screeching finally stopped) that it was for BMW's year-end sale. Please make it stop! Well, if you have any influence with BMW, that is. Or can you tell me who to write to; I'm begging for your assistance! A: [Stuart Elliott] The commercial in question, dear reader, was created for the BMW of North America by GSD&M in Austin, Tex., an agency owned by the Omnicom Group. Eric Webber, a spokesman for the agency, takes issue with the reader's assessment of the commercial. The children in the spot, he says, are not actors, and the vintage footage that appears in the commercial shows their genuine and spontaneous reaction as they opened a gift of a Nintendo 64 video game system. "He goes nuts unwrapping it," Mr. Webber says of the boy in the spot. "It's an actual reaction. It's a little over the top, but authentic." The idea is to remind viewers of the "feeling of getting something special," he adds, which is likened to the feeling of buying and driving a BMW. The agency found the footage on YouTube, Mr. Webber says, "and we tracked down the kid, who is now an adult, and purchased the rights from him and his sister." Several parodies of the footage have turned up on YouTube, he adds. That may indicate that not everyone who sees the spot disapproves of how the children behave. The commercial offers a twist on the popular trend of user-generated content, by which consumers create their own commercials. Here, an agency found material that was created by consumers and made it the focus of a spot created by advertising professionals. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I don't know if it's a regional ad or a national ad, but is anyone else > sick of the BMW TV ad with the screaming kid opening the box near the > Christmas tree?

There are programs that let you save flash movies. For example: http://viewdownloader.net has a Firefox plug-in that does just that. That's a neat video, and I think that's the pole-setting lap you're seeing. They released another DVD that has Spa and a couple of the sportcar tracks, too. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 14:25:01 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: <OT> Glass Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nippon Sheet Glass has bought Pilkington PLC.
