Re: Sizzler



Richard,

        Are we possibly talking about knocking?  Your situation is the most
common time for knocking to occur.  For example, going up hill in a low
gear  at low RPMs (lugging the engine.)  The E36 M3 should retard the
timing that might cause this sound (I dunno, the E30 M3 has no knock
sensor.)  I would (and do) carry a bottle of octane booster around with me
just in case I get a bad tank of gas, or whatever.  Just to be safe....
