First of all, changing the oil once a year if you’re tracking your car is way too little. Should be every track weekend or two or three. If you are running hot, there’s a problem (thermostat?), or...

I need to change the work to be performed for the 944 to: brake/clutch fluid flush and bleed, engine and tranny fluid change. No longer need to replace clutch slave, it fixed itself ;).

Whine: Class filled. I thought this was a BMW club event.

Many thanks to Andrew and Mark for making this happen. I can't thank Timmy and CCC enough for letting us use the shop and providing the expertise to make sure we did things right.

Alan,
I registered on the morning of 5/31 and have neither received confirmation of that registration or gotten a reply from you as to which tools can be provided or I will need to bring. Perhaps...

I recently did my E36 and it was surprisingly easy, compared to similar work (also around 100K miles, BTW) on my wife's '96 Jetta, which required removing most of the front body work, broken plastic...

I'm in the process of replacing the two blown Bilstein Sports on my '97 318is after two years of use. I am only hesitating a calling Bilstein crap due to the fact that the Sports may be too short...

I'm interested also, as my all-seasons are getting worn.

Vredesteins come in different categories, I've heard they are great. They have several types. By "winter tires" do you mean "ice/snow tires...

Hmmm, what a coincidence. Unfortunately, I don't (yet) autocross and couldn't keep the trailer at home due to homeowners association.

Any recommendations on what kind to buy and where to have it installed??

Thanks,

How is the noise level compared to the oem?

Great advice, I'm also a newbie and had the same questions.

Also--If we plan to go no further than drivers ed and a few autocrosses in a stock E36, is it necessary to go with Snell racing rating,...

Where are you? In Rockville, MD area, I think the best is supposed to be Master Crafters on Westmore Road in Rockville, at least for collision repair, not sure about custom work.

Radial Tires, contact Paul? re BMW's at 9101 Brookville Rd, Silver Spring, tel. (301) 585-2740. I've gotten 3-4 sets of tires, no problems yet but have had to wait for 2 hours. They're into racing...

Also check out the Audio & Electronics forum on www.bimmerforums.com. You can get a lot of info on what works and what doesn't. Searching the archives should pull up a lot of options.

Thanks for the responses, I will follow up and let you know how it goes...

Reasonable to me means nice daily driver that looks good from 5-10 feet away, no paranoia in parking lots, etc. Do not want garage queen or concourse-winner. Mainly, do not want to re-repair any rust...

I'm at the 4-year mark in restoring a '73 2002 tii; it's down to the bare tub and ready for the body work. As it is an original East Coast car, there is a "bit" of rust and needs to have new panels...

I wondered the same thing and researched tirerack.com, which seems to hype the winter tire thing pretty hard. I found that the "high performance winter tire" like the Blizzak LM-22, Dunlop M3, or the...

it is a good site to look for advice and parts, as well.

Good luck!

I'm interested if they aren't bent. Can probably pick up next weekend.
