I had only heard about water pump problems on the e36 M3s (Road and Track) as they used a plastic pro/im peller.

Exclamation Ack! Help w/ hood latch!

I'm not sure if I shut my hood from too high up or whatever, but it won't stay latched. The lifting lever keeps coming forward, allowing the hood to bounce up in down in that "not quite open" range....

Personally, I would get the manual. I have driven a 330cic with an automatic (and a 528), and as far as automatics go, they are on the upper end, imho, so it won't be *the* end of the world, though...

I definitely won't be my life on it.

I know my rotor light went out when I put on new rotors, so I guessed it was some sort of proximity sensor. That would explain the intermittentness of it.

The front has just the one on the left side. I'm guessing the rear is the same; I've been lazy and haven't done those yet.

The rotor wear sensors are non-wear sensors, so they'll reset...

Since my light is still on, I'm pretty sure that's the pad sensor, meaning it's time for some new brake pads. Not necessarily tomorrow, but in the near future you'd want to do that. I got a few...
