According to Autoweek, the rumors are V10 with a V12 option. It's going to be bigger than the current 7 series in length and width, but not as tall and priced well above $100K. I can't afford a new one but maybe they'll depreciate as fast as the 7 so two or three years after introduction it should be "affordable".

Realoem takes this back to the Z4. Dealer says 885 has superseded 817. Anyone have any recent experience with E36 RTABS? Has there indeed been a change?

Perhaps check if E46 parts have also been superseded.

It's not turning on at all--no matter what speed I set it on, the fan stays off. I know about the climate control computer faults, but the entire display is still functional and all the buttons work, so I don't believe it's that. In my E30, I know it's the resistor pack when the fan only works on high, and it looks like there is a resistor for the E36 as well. Is that the likely culprit? I'm planning to get rid of the car soon, so I just want to get it working again without just throwing parts at it. Thanks Kevin '97 328is, way too hot here to not have any air movement '90 325i autox toy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:51:59 -0400 From: johngrills <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: E36 A/C Muffler fitment question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gruppe: Finally getting to installing a new-to-me Supersprint SS DTM cat-back on the e36M3/4. Put it on last week. As has been my experience with Supersprint, appeared to fit beautifully (w/all new mount parts replaced upon installation). An 800 mi road trip, several large speed tables & numerous DC potholes later...heard some banging. Looks like the pipe is hitting the rear sway bar during suspension travel. Everything seems tight, but there is movement built into the mounts for isolation. I've just been trying many iterations of adjusting the mounting brackets/bushings to no avail. Damn it's hot here today. From the rubbing marks, it appears that the latter part of the heat shield on the pipe is contacting the part of the sway bar that angles up right after the bushing link Anyone ever run into this problem? I'm about to start bending the mount stubs on the muffler and I'd hate to tear one off. cheers!

Upon dis-assembly and a few lemonades to fight off dehydration, I noticed that the passenger side mounting bar on the muffler body was not really straight and thus was not well secured inside the 2 pc clamp (it was a used muffler). I bent the bar up a bit, flipped the large rubber hanger on that side so it would grab further back on the bar, (it's asymmetric N-S) loosened the pivot bolt on the hanger so it would align/preload better as you suggest and it did snug up better. Road testing to follow! There is also an inner mount position for the passenger side hanger that is more inboard. I tried using that position, but the muffler can was too big. Interesting that there are provisions for a more slender exhaust on this car...up-front racing design perhaps? Actually, I think coming indoors to the A/C and typing an email prolly helped the diagnosis ;-). My 11 yr old nephew was mighty impressed that I was crawling under the car at 0700 in their driveway last week during our road trip to figure out what was causing all that racket in the back... I'm quite impressed with the quality and performance of this item, although I'd lean towards that lovely UUC Corsa piece of kit if I was buying new (shameless plug for our beloved sponsors). cheers! jpg b barry wrote: > Had a Supersprint on the '97 //M3 since nearly new, no swaybar > clearance problems.

It fit the muffler can profile better and still allowed me to utilize the stock hanger rubbers. I simply welded a strap to the muffler and used a bolt through the factory rubber upper mounts. Worked like a charm! So whatever the motivation of the folks at BMW.....THANKS! :) Cheers, Chet Dawes -----Original Message----- ...There is also an inner mount position for the passenger side hanger that is more inboard.

Turn the can upside down so liquid comes out instead of whatever gas it is, and that liquid is extremely cold, like skin frostbite cold. (that liquid is quite flammable, by the way, so be careful). This stuff may be cold enough to solidify the gum so you can chip it off instead of smearing it. As usual, suggest testing an inconspicuous place first. (I have a theory that this liquid canned air is the same stuff you pay about 100X the price for a tiny can of as wart remover freeze stuff, actually - word to the wise for you wart-laden bimmer fans) Rgds, Chris Whitney former E28 owner; my kids have had a wart or two ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:06:46 -0400 From: Kathy Lyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, BMWUUC Digest <[email protected]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], CR List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Bubbas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: iPhone raffle for Komen For The Cure Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There are just 4 tickets left for a 1-in-25 chance to win an 8 GB iPhone.
