On the aftermarket intake there wasn't one and the booming at 3K rpm was insane. Stock one went back on. I think those little wings that some people think are a handle on the stock E36 airboxs are HRs.

My washer fluid connector is shot and I'd like to put new rubbery connectors on instead of splicing/hacking the old brittle ones that lead to the wire breaking off in the first place. If not I'll strip them down a bit and solder/heatshrink. These look like they could be used in many other areas like the coolant level sensor plug and the fan as shown. http://members.roadfly.org/kowached/e30m3-fan-03.jpg http://members.roadfly.org/kowached/e30m3-fan-04.jpg http://members.roadfly.org/kowached/e30m3-fan-10.jpg http://members.roadfly.org/kowached/e30m3-fan-12.jpg Maybe an inner circle member can help me out.

I purchased mine from a dealership and there is a BMW part number for it, no I don't know the number but an E30 M3 SIG archives search could turn it up (an no don't ask me for my SIG archives password either). You get a bag of wires and connectors but pay way too much for it. It would be worth seeking an alternative IMO.

They sell lengths of wire with the connector attached, ready for splicing. I don't have a part number, but I'm sure a good parts dude at the dealer has dealt with them before and can dig up the number in quick order.

I was about to go search through my site and find the path to those pictures and reply, but alas, you've beat me to it! Awesome! I'm glad my site was of help to someone. :) That gives me motivation to actually finally finish the site and all my writeups. ...especially the one for the infamous sunroof inner cover sliding around and not moving back those few inches when the sunroof is vent-tilted.... I'm too detail-oriented (read: perfectionist) and it takes me forever to finish this stuff. I'll just have to trim down on the details, I *guess* you guys are smart enough to figure it out. ;) Brian ----- Original Message ---- From: Fuerst Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UUC Digest <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 11:47:29 AM Subject: Re: [UUC] E36 barrel connectors Here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-43315.html Kowached posted: P/N's for the $8 fix (Crevier BMW pricing): -Repair Leads: 61-13-0-007-441 Cable Socket (x3) $2.40 each -Repair Plug (if you need it): 61-13-1-378-410 Plug Terminal (x1) $0.80 Also: http://www.bmw-m.net/digest/Archive_2006_03_digest_4660-4712/digest4691. htm Brian Ruiz scribes....
