| Brake-dust Shields? | 13 Apr 2004 16:16 GMT | 7 |
I've seen these offered for about $35/pr. What is the drawback of these, & why haven't I seen them mentioned in the multitude of brakedust posts? I can guess at brake cooling being a possible issue, & it not being COOL to hide the rotor & caliper. Otherwise, these seem to be a ...

I have a 1996 318i Touring with all the amenities (automatic climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, exterior temp gauge, trip computer, etc), and I have grown quite fond of it. We are rearranging our car collection now and I have just bought a 1995

Thinking about bleeding the brakes of my 99 540i, my E39 Bentley manual calls DOT 4 "low viscosity" brake fluid for E39s after 9/1998, with the reason being they are equipped with DSC without precharge pump. I searched the web but couldn't confirmed this, does anybody know if ...

| S-03 Pole Position vs. new Pilot Sport PS2 | 12 Apr 2004 06:20 GMT | 2 |
I have a 1997 US BMW M3 coupe which will need four new tires soon. I've only used the Bridgestone S-02 or S-03 tires on it in the past. From the recent Tire Rack review, it looks like the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 would be a better choice than another set of S-03s.

Is it just my imagination, but are the price of BMW parts at US dealers increasing faster than an F1 car? I called my local dealer, Tischer BMW in Maryland, and they quoted me $175 each for oxygen sensors for my '96 318i. I found the same sensors at Baverian Motor

Planning to soon install a new waterpump on my 97 328 as preventative maintenence. Bentley manual says to lubricate the O-ring gasket during installation - my question is what lubricant should be used? Thought it a bad idea to get any oil or grease in the cooling system,
