cheers for that! awsom car, I think mines shinier tho . Btw does anyone have problems with the site loging you out straight away? I just took 5 minutes trying to log in.

That is true, I'll have to take some pics then. Germanskux where are these pics of yours?

I think the reason people don't wana chuck there pics up are incase they pull infront of a member or driving dangerously haha. I'll get round to putting some pics up then.

Yes the most famous pic of a shining e36, thats what it looks like!

Neither. The main product is a 'sealant', there a new generation of synthetic wax (hit off in the states, the same stuff car dealers and places like tint a car charge hundreds for as an option). Prior to sealing, you apply a polish like product which restores the surface and prepars it for best recieving of the sealant. Really its just a higher shine, longer-lasting (synthetic vs natural) version of a good Carnauba wax. Thats bassicaly it, visit the website for all the info. Have taken a pic now.

Just the main product... I did get a application pack aswell cos seems very cheap (microfibre usually=expensive). Will finish application today and take some pics then (but most of the pics in the site 'gallery' represent results well/ fairly.

Brought some of that sealant, advertised by new sponsor Sappco, was a bit hesitant but never satisfied with paint after spending to much on various meguiars n mothers products to give it a go. Anyway, was asked if I could give a quick review: Simply put, it's amazing, no bs. Have only finished applying to front and sides, but its riduculously shiny, like a lot deeper and wet than the previous waxes I've used, and swirls have almost completely gone (might be the sealant filling them in, but thats fine be me). Can't comment on lasting abilities, but more than happy with the shine alone. O and as I found out on Sunday it sheets water to the extent that car-self drys minutes after rain stops. Anyways 2 thumbs up. cheers, John

?? is it realy a big deal Anways I got a similar car to yours and had a bit of idle viabrations before, for me it was a problem with vanos, but agreed with Glenn... you won't no untill it's scanned, unless you've had the problem b4 and therefore no what it is.

Yup, can agree with you on that. Bought it today from Ray at HellBM and had it installed, did a great job and great to deal with- will definatly ask there first when needing other parts. The difference is day and night, handling is amazing and acceleration increase bet anything I've done before for performance gains. Any long drives at over 120km become a bit anoying, need a 6th gear to go into- but that's expected and I'm only on the open road 2-3 times a year. Very happy.

O yea nice, well if you were ok with that then 3.46 should be fine, and I'm not to fussed bout fuel consumption. Y'd you remove it!

Hey, well it's a direct fit (may not have been originaly this way), but the last car it was in was a 328... which its about to go into, so I won't be opening it up. I rang the guys at steelie-gears but to get them to do anything was gonaa be atleast a couple of hundred bucks. Im told its a good one, and working well so hopefully thats truthfull. And maybe after I've put a bit of wear on it, could get a rebuild have the thrusts removed and get it a taking a bit harder. Do you by any chance have an lsd in ur 328?

Hey there, that would be the shore.

Cheers for all that, I'm fine with the diff, and want that particular ratio as it will realy pull and have talked to a few guys that have used 3.46, need to be a tad quicker on gear changes but the aceleration nd pull from down low should be perfect. Anway sounds like a general consensus that these BMW diffs are fairly solid. Cheers for the offer Brent, but I think i'll see how its goes and then at some stage play round witht eh gearing.

Hey there, I've got a few options for an lsd, currently looking at a 3.46 med case out of one of the old 5-series. What I want to know is the expected life and about wear on BMW LSD's. You can never find out exactly how many k's these have done after been on a couple of cars, but I'm guessing this one, with standard lock-up hasn't been used around a track. Anyway if anyone knows about how they wear/ how many k's they last working well and so on. Unless I take them to a diff shop and ask them to open up and have a look I'm not going to know untill it's on the car and too late. Any information would be great. This could probly go under maintenance too. cheers.

Yea it is funey, but people are talking smack, I've pulled a few of a number of times with minimal effort- as glen said- just wank in the general direction of the sky and it'll come off. I remember when I first looked up how to do it, everyone said it was dangerous and you can hurt urself.... mayby they had glue on theres, or just women.
