Symptom, idle just started to act strangley. Engine will idle at 1.1k rpm and when changing gears the drivetrain feels different at the clutch as if the engine is still reving and not falling. I looked at the accelerator cable this morning at the throttle housing and it looks OK. I will look at the plate over the weekend in case it's a gummed around the plate. While in there I'll clean it with a sensor safe cleaner. I also read Bret's writeup on the replacing the IAC valve but I could not find the plastic clip (on RealOEM) that he refers to on his instructions. Anyone know where I can see a picture of this piece? -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.

Idle valve on the S52 is bolted into place. I'm with Gary, first thought of a cause is the TPS, if not a sticking throttle.

They are the 7 spoke 16x7 factory wheels, the ones that have basically a rectangular spoke. I think from checking online they are style 45, BMW P/N 36 11 1 094 498. They're in good shape, some curb rash, they are not perfect. They are clean though, not dented or out of round or rusty or anything like that, just curb rash. The come with 205/55/16 Kumho 716 HP4 tires that have a lot of tread left. They have no uneven wear patterns or anything, in very good shape. Asking $500 plus shipping from 48116. I don't know what these are worth so if my price is too high please lemme know. If it's too low, well good for you then. Cheers.

Specifically I need to find the code for the dark reddish-brown (brownish-red?) leather used on seats in 1998 325ic convertibles . It's the same colour used on the two and four door I'm pretty sure 'cuz I have some of those seats . Only problem is , there seems to be quite a variance in the 'tint' amongst them ...which is no surprise with 20 yr old dead cowhide that has been subjected to various things .sun, kids, cleaners etc .........but I wanna get close as possible for a reupholstering job on mine .... All clues gratefully received ........

Brett Anderson might have access, or Mike Miller from the club. World Upholstery doesn't have accurate E36 colors on their site.

A 98 likely wouldn't have 20 year old dead cowhide. A 1988 325i E30 convertible might. Whatya got?

There were two reds used on E30 in 88, karmes.rot in abbreviated German code 0324 cardin.rot in abbreviated German code 0296 Pop up the rear seat bottom, look for the build sheet pasted to the sound deadening or jammed into the underside of the seat and look for the holster code, it will likely be one of those two numbers in four digits.
