hi from the uk considering what you say in your post and this is a present for your g/f may i suggest for her safety that you have a qualified mechanic take a look at the cars brakes and steering/suspension components and give you an unbiased written report on the above for peace of mind also to ensure it is safe for g/f to drive considering age of car and how long it has been stood/off road ??? last time serviced etc ? there are many things to consider if vehicles are layed up for long periods such as deteriation of belts brakes and steering parts seizure as the answer you were given as to why rear brake/s were stuck ??on seems he knew this?? and maybe other problems which will be discovered if you have safety inspection/report ? and will be worth it knowing g/f is safe on highways (posing ? ) hope this helps and at the end of the day car is a good buy best wishes from uk

most leaks are caused by hoses.

You can go online and find the manual for it at BMW's website. It should be fairly easy to find. Wish I could help more. Good luck.

you would only experience problems from the diff if there was a substantial increase in torque from the different engine as there would be less than 10% difference in torque ratings , Any noise from the diff would be naturally occurring from wear or oil diff noises indicating bearing problems are a whine on drive or coasting , an growl on deceleration and a harmonic whine or growl when the vehicle is held at steady speed Other than those indications , I would be more inclined to suspect wheel bearings and brake associated noises wheel bearings are normally more pronounced on cornering

Dear Nancy, I am going to do some guessing, and I hope I get it right. I think you mean the passenger seat slides loosely on it's track whenever you shift gears and accelerate, or brake the car. There is a release handle that is supposed to lock the seat position selector in place, and it must be not working properly. I have noticed that on many cars, if a piece of trash, or maybe a coin, gets dropped between the seat and the hump in the middle of the floor, it can lock this mechanism. Have someone take a really good flashlight or light of some kind and examine the track and see if something is blocking the locking mechanism under the seat. God bless your efforts.

I use ATE Super Blue Racing (Blue) and then alternate with ATE Typ 200 (Gold) made by ATE in Germany. It is DOT 4. A 1 liter can with a pressure bleeder can do the 98 M3 (although I always have an extra can around just in case). The advantage of alternating the blue and gold is in the ease of seeing when that brake line has been cleared of the previous color. I start at the furthest point from the master cylinder in this order, pass rear, driver rear, pass front, and then driver front. You can get at TurnerMotor Sport or Bavarian Auto as well as many other places.
