As soon as I pull the dash out of my 318is to replace the odometer gears,
I'm **sure** I'll have a question or two

Over Christmas I put together an electronic kit to correct my speedo, so
I'll fit that at the same time. The main problem will be figuring out which
wire to cut.

You only have to pull the cluster to change the gears. As far as which
wire, it's attached to the cluster by itself (at least in the E30
cars). How are you correcting the speedo and why is it off that much?

That's a fair point. Thanks for the tip on the single wire. That should
make it really easy.

As to why I want to correct the speedo - well, every other car in the house
has an accurate speedo, but my car is out by 10%. My son is learning to
drive and it's important that he stays at or under the speed limit, so its
easier if we have consistent speedos.

As to how - I'm using a kit designed by Silicon Chip magazine and
distributed by Jaycar in Australia.

I had considered fitting the kit a couple of years ago, but it was to much
effort for something that wasn't broken. However, as the cluster has to
come out anyway, the time is right.

If you read this blog, you'll see why I wanted to know about the wire. The
318is is obviously easier than a 1985 735i.

Most people now go for the blogs/boards on bimmerworld and roadfly
and such. Even the BMWCCA blogs/boards are more active than here.

I suspect the reason for the decline is many providers dropped the
alt. groups (and maybe all groups) for various "politically correct"
reasons but in actuality did it to reduce their cost. As a result
many are without usenet service.

Hi,
Glad to read messages again.
The evidence is that oil drops were missing in this board :-)
Happy new year to everybody and wishes to your respective "babies"

Agree. Alot of BMWCCA hardcorers use the UUC BMW digest on yahoo
groups. You find ex-alt.autos.bmw posters there like BMW Master tech
Brett Anderson.

Another reason is the massive amount of spam this group gets because
its free. I think many just get tired of it and leave. At most, I only
search here maybe once a week to see if there are any good topics.
Good Luck!
