Re: E46 M3 being Forgotten...
Yeah, I didn't do much in cars or boats in kid years. Private school, moves, etc. Did have an 85 Jetta GLI, that car was a hoot! I can say I never owned a minivan, but can remember kids at a few...

Re: Who had problems with Bosch reman altenators?
That's not what I meant to convey. HOW the seller choses to SPEC THE REBUILD is the issue. The big box stores spec on price and don't require adequate testing. I beleive (but can't cite facts)...

Re: GENUINE ZCP Wheels E46 M3
Unless you find someone local, you're probably better off removing tires, ESPECIALLY if tires are under 50% tread, as shipping kills the deal. If it hasn't changed, you can buy the rims new for...

Re: Bosch Re-manufactured Alternator woes
If you're in a city large enough to have an auto-electric shop, do that, they'll likely test for what it really needs and hopefully stand behing the work.
As for rebuilds, not sure anyone has new...

Re: What's your view on superchargers?
I can't say what it does for ultimate sale price, other than like any other mod you'll probably get about 25% on the dollar for what it costs. So yeah, it MAY sell a little higher than a car w/o,...

Re: DINAN EXHAUST - Catless Owner's Inside
Dinan is well known to be one of the least drone mufflers in line with stock and Supersprint street. So if you have drone ... who knows what shape that muffler was in or why, that isn't typical at...

Re: lighter fuse keeps blowing
Putting a bigger fuse in (if it was the correct rating for that slot) is a bad idea, as it will normally overheat the wire either short term (melts insulation on lighter wire and wire next to it or...

Re: What we know about Mobil 1 5W-50
If you trust this or any oil to do the job, there is no reason to do 3k oci. We've seen many top ends look flawless at 5k to 7k OCI.
