URGENT!!!
So, my M3 just stranded me at exit 40 in Kelso. Alternator I believe.
Anyone have the time to try and jump it? Need to get back to PDX asap.Derek-Comment

Thank you Pipes! I really appreciate the complement. The wheels are currently some msr's that the previous owner had custom widened I believe, but I haven't been able to track down the exact model so far. The car runs well but has a lot of issues I'm working on. . .
I see that 349i in you sig and would like to hear more about the project, I'm dreaming of a v8 swap eventually... Do you have a build thread?Comment

S52/G260 and a stock clutch for now. I've always ran stock clutches with this setup and always had good luck, until now. I got about 100k out of my last one and it still had quite a bit of life left at the end of it all. Don't know if I would trust running more than 250hp through a stock one, though. S50/52 are right on the cusp, which is why a lot of folk go with a heavy duty or aftermarket unit.Comment

Hey guys. Ever seen a three piece clutch before? I think it would be a hot seller.
Oddly, some p-p's give up quickly, others last a long time,
and they look identical going in. Check the rivets on the straps carefully-
my straps always broke there...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george gravesComment

That's exactly what happened to mine. Looks like the rivets just ripped right out. Kinda impressive.

your 88 is so clean, hope to get mine that way soon... Id ask more though :)
my m42 is acting up on me. leaving the gas station yesterday I had an extremely weak crank... so I push started it and made my way home. The radio reset itself when trying to crank the car, and only works now with the key in the ignition/accessory on positions WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING. very odd. car still has good power and bump starts easily.
I am thinking the alternator died and the battery has very little charge, or it got overcharged. Something odd... gotta look into it this weekend. anyways I am not interested in putting a reman "lifetime" warranty POS on there - going to rebuild what I have. Gonna take pics too and make a nice DIY. anybody ever done this? looks fairly straightforwardComment

I Don't know if you can replace the carbon wipers (the contact points that pick up the current) on them, but if you're in there, not a bad idea to replace them. Usually, you'll replace the springs that put the tension on them at the same time.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
