---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:37:17 -0600 From: "Paul Garnier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: 750iL torque converter interchangeable? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey all, Well I bought the 750 and I LOVE it. I really didn't think I'd like such a big car so much. Even the wife likes it, and she really dislikes big cars, she commutes an M-Coupe fer crissakes! Well on to the question... I am going to reseal the transmission. Front & rear trans seals, rear engine main seal, selector shaft seat, solenoid relay seals (internal), and the trans filter kit. I am also getting the torque converter rebuilt as I am getting a Check Engine light for code 111, "Lock-up clutch too much slip" Since I want to "stage" the parts so I can R&R the trans in one session, (ah, the best laid plans...), I am looking for a torque converter to send off for a rebuild. I have found several 740 cores but no 750 cores although they both use the same 5HP30 transmission. I have been told by a couple of experience mechanics that these torque converters are different between the 740 and the 750. Is that correct? If that's the case. I'm going to have to lay the car up while the torque converter gets rebuilt. Anybody got a spare 750 torque converter laying around?!? Looking for a core in Houston, Paul A.

Bought from Umnitza. These are the newer DEPO lights that are as good as ZKW. Admittedly I have not used the ZKW but these are good, solid, obviously well made lights. And the light output is amazing compared to the originals on my 1996 328iC. And Umnitza, in my limited experience, is great to deal with.

It was really astounding how bad those cloudy stock lights were. This is a huge improvement IMHO. I got mine from Understeer.com at a good price (just a bit better than UMZITA) John Grills NCC-BMWCCA 98 M3/4 with ZKWs -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 2:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UUC] <E36> Headlight projector type What's the deal with these E36 headlight cassettes with the projector type lights? Do they really have a performance benefit over the stock US lights or is it just hype? Any reputable brands with complete wiring solution? -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]> The converters are different by more than 2 inches I believe. An M62 converter will not engage the splines on the pump shaft of a V12 5HP30.

Peake R-5 FCX code/reset tool. From the manual, covers most BMW's from 1987 to 2000 (including my '95 and '97, but not 7-series after 1998/99, and not my new '01). Includes (slightly tatty) manual and plastic hard case. Asking $100 + shipping from 19301. 2. Peake R5 SRS-16 airbag code reader. This is the model designed to plug into the OBD II port, rather than the diagnostic port under the hood. Apparently this is most '01 and up BMW's, except my 2001 740i. Comes with a nice zippered pouch and pristine manual. Asking $100 + shipping from 19301. I'd be willing to consider a swap + deal for someone wanting to move backwards from a newer code reset tool, and someone wanting to move forwards to a newer airbag code reader.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My E30 318is with Dinan chip has trouble idling when warmed up, it tends to want to stall. The plugs and wires are a couple of years old. The thermostat is 11 years old with 80kmiles, heat is good. The O2 sensor is 9 years old with 50kmiles. I haven't attempted any serious diagnostics yet, it's too cold, but am curious about the expected life. Oh yeah, the airflow meter was replaced just before the O2 sensor.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Steve, Check the ICV (Idle Control Valve), its between the intake manifold and the firewall. They periodically need to be cleaned and lubed. I did that recently on my '91 318ic. Not sure about the O2 though. A really great resource for info on the M42 powered E30's is at http:// m42club.com/forums/index.php Goodluck!
