Also, some mechanism would have to be in place to account for pad and rotor wear. Reliable power routing to the caliper is a question I have, copper doesn't like a lot of flexing before it work hardens and fails.Maybe they're using some multiply flex with improved reliability.

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 Search the ARCHIVES:http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] com __________________________________________________________________________ In memory of Michel Potheau - friend, enthusiast, founder of the BMW CCA.

I think all over the place is right. I wanted a 95 M3 about a year and a half ago so I posted a WTB message here. I got a lot of offers of cars and most were more than I wanted to spend ~$12K. I ended up buying a 98 M3 because the owner sold it to me at 95 M3 price ~$13K. And I ended up exactly with what I wanted, I didn't want a totally stock car and wanted to do a few track events in it. This one had Bilsteins, Eibach springs, UUC sway bars, Big Brembo brakes, pulleys, Conforti software and intake, and some other stuff. I think that car would've been a good deal at $16K so $13K was a no-brainer for me. That being said I heard someone scored a 97 or 98 shortly after I bought mine for like $8K. So yes prices are all over the place. I'm sure you could find one for $12K or under if you look and are willing to travel a bit. I flew in to NJ for mine, the drive back to MI wasn't bad at all.

Where are they?(no, don't tell me ebay...no thanks) I have been seriously looking for the last six months for a 1995 M3 or a M3 sedan and have had the exact same experience you are having. The problem with sedans is half of them were automatics.

Expect to find them from $12K to $19K. Expect to find them in greatly varying states of repair, condition, etc. Remember that it's no unusual for any recently-purchased E36 to need anywhere from $100 to $4000 worth of maintenance to make it perfect. Lots of little stuff adds up. - Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Cagann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'UUC BMW Digest'" <[email protected]> Subject: [UUC] 1998 M3's Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 00:09:22 -0600 > What are 1998 M3's doing on the 'real' market?

The brake torque calculations are based on specific dimensions of the pad height, rotor diameter, piston area, etc. This narrow swept area is common among 4-piston brake setups, the difference is that other designs with a 2-piece rotor design the center hat to extend out radially further. This design uses E46 M3 rotors, which are of course 1-piece iron where the swept area extends all the way inward to a narrow built-in hat. - Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Garnier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [UUC] e36 wilwood brakes Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 09:49:28 -0600 > Hey all, > > We just mounted the wildwood brakes on one of our > sponsored racers and we are kinda puzzled as to why the > pad doesn't use the entire width of the rotor face. > > Everything fits together as it's supposed to but it's like > the caliper is too far out.(see pics) > > http://www.fastnetworking.com/brakes > > > Any ideas/suggestions/reprimands?!? > > > > Thanks!! > > > > Confused in Houston. > > > Paul A.
