Re: K&N air filter better then stock? I've been back to OEM filters for over 2 years now. I change the filter at every 2 oil changes whether or not its clogged. Paper is actually more difficult to puncture because the folds are deeper. The folds on the K&N are like straightened out thus making...

Re: K&N air filter better then stock? Its hard to determine whether its overoiled or not. I only did one pass with the spray then let it sit on crushed newspaper to soak up any excess. In any case the filter is pretty much toast now. At the last change I noticed a puncture in the wire gause...

Re: E36 metallic "chickety - chickety - chickety" sound when you changed your fan belts, did you change the a/c belt tensioner pulley? When I changed mine, there was definitely play. Causes the belt not to run in a straight line and maybe rub on something.

Re: Aircon Noisy - Frog in car After a long drive with a/c on, I get crickets singing when I brake. Only happens with the a/c on. My mechanic told me its condensation pooled up and not escaping fast enough. When I braked the a/c fan hits the water, or was it the other way. Anyway, a/c still...

Re: My Baby In my neck of the woods all 4 cyl e46 (facelifted) get black surrounds, black door and trunk handles and PVC seats. So if you are getting leather, chrome and color coded handles, I feel really short changed.

Re: My Baby Noticed your 318 has chrome window surrounds. Did you retrofit it? Chrome surrounds only come in our 325 and above models.

Re: Rain X I think you driving at 130 in a heavy downpour is more attributable to your tires than rainX. RainX can't stop hydroplaning.

Re: [you], how did you choose / get your nickname? You may have guessed that my name is John. Removing the "h" still maintains the pronounciation. Don't think I can make the name any shorter. 2367? Thats the last 4 digits of an invoice number sitting on my desk when I signed up. How (un)creative.
