  1. Hey team - I am after a replacement left rear axle for my E36 M3 (too much fun at Pukekohe). We are trying to source from BMW but it could be some months. Can anyone help or steer me to where I might be able to find one?
  2. Fantastic - and thanks again @M3AN
  3. Hi there - how did you go with this project. I need to replace the radiator on my E6 M3 3.2, which is a track/Targa car. Any recommendations on brand and specs (eg Behr or just go OEM)? What price should I be expecting to pay? Oh and - supplementary question - given it is on the track, I intend to use water wetter. Any suggested racetrack-friendly alternatives? Thanks in advance.
  4. Hi M3AN - thanks for that. I am running calibrated ProComp oil pressure and temp gauges (in PSI and Fahrenheit respectively), which is what I'm using as my reference data. Not sure how accurate the dash oil temp gauge (in *C) is so don't pay attention to this nor the factory water temp. Thanks for your point re the dash gauge buffering - might get this reset as suggested Good to hear re 115*C - I am still new to the car and amazed at how variable the oil temperature is over the course of a 15-20 minute race.
  5. Hi there - I have recently started competing a 1996 M3 EVO - with many years of Targa racing under its belt - and wonder what the oil temperature should be after around 10 minutes of reasonably hard track racing? I am hitting 240F at Pukekohe, which freaks me out a bit, and was getting up to 230 at HD. Short shifting brings it down, but is not always practical if you are chasing a podium. It has never had the head off and is running consistent 53-56 oil pressure (and the silly dash water temperature gauge seems to never change from one-over-midway). Thoughts?
