Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

But now that I am more "used" to it, I don't notice it anymore.
Leading evidence: 'Use "' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use "' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey all,
I managed to find my way back on rennlist again! ( I had a 944 some 5 years back when i was in grad school.)
I found a fantastic deal, very low $20Ks, on an 2002 C4s and just had to trade my e46 M3 for it. Full leather, PCM nav, heated/lumbar seats etc.
I'll grab some pics when i get home (driving 600miles to get it... ZOMG NO IMS GUARDIAN!1!1!11), but couple questions in the meanwhile:
1) Where's the engine number stamped on the block? Car has 109K on it, 60K on the motor replaced in 06 by Porsche. I'd like to know what they put in it.
2) Does the turn signal stalk need lubrication? It feels super flimsy, almost feels like im gonna break something when i flip it on/off
3) Bubbles on the cluster gauge faces - doesn't look like a common issue, any suggestions for replacement?
Former e46 M3 owner here. The car was very capable with a sharp engine but ultimately I prefer the 996. Anyway, the engine number is at the bottom edge of the "oil pan" on the drivers side. Turn signal stalk does indeed feel flimsy, but not many feel as good as BMWs... On the other hand the steering and brakes feel better on the Porsche.
Welcome back. I haven't really noticed a flimsy feel to my turn signal stalk, but I've never owned a BWW either...
The bubbles on the gauge faces are not a common issue. I wonder if your car has aftermarket gauge faces that weren't applied properly. Are they white gauge faces?
I think I know what you mean about the turn signal stalk.....did seem that way when I first got mine. But now that I am more "used" to it, I don't notice it anymore.

I also really like the red stripe across the back between the tail lights on the C4.
My Carrera badge was removed during the paint polishing, it hasn't gone back on yet, I have the original matt black one, a silver "titanium" one, not sure what I really want to do, I've thought to spray the matt black one to dark gun-metal color.
