Bawb's E46 M3

[Crash_Nemesis]

Still waiting for Shims for my car... Everyone is closed over new years... so now we wait. Gonna probably have to get from Tune Tech, SavSpeed and Boetie Budler as we need about 18 shims and I know that one tuning shop won't have all 18 of the sizes I need... so it looks like I'll grab 6 from each.

18 shims? Wow... remind me never to fit aftermarket valves... :yuck:

Good luck!

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

Aftermarket or new Oem, you'd probably have to replace all of them..

Someone needs to buy Peter a kit for Christmas

 

[moranor@axis]

I know someone with extra shim stock... let me know if you need Peter

we also waiting on a few other bits though getting parts this time of year is not fun

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

PLease... we really need those shims. Can't find them anywhere. BMW do NOT stock them. And you'd think they would, seeing as valve clearances is an inspection 2 item that HAS to be done on the M3.

Peter will give you the exact sizes we need. Thanks Moranor. Sorry to hijack your thread BAWB...

Ok.. back on track.

Service department should have but I doubt they would sell loose.

Allow me to correct you

BMW Non Service Departments are only good for fusking cars up.

Ask fordkoppie about BMW and his CSL.

Didn't say they know/want to use them, but they should still have. I know PE does.

I stand corrected you sure did not say nor imply that they know what to do with them on a clients car.

Offer to buy out their stock?
I should be interested if they would
