How do you retract a deployed roll bar M3 Convertible?
You REALLY must have scared the crap out of that car for it to deploy the
rool bar(s). Those bars are tied into the We're All Gonna Die circuit ... > wrote in message ups.com... > 990 M3 Convertible had the roll bar automatically deploy. How does one > retract the bars? > |

Was that circuit installed in the E-30 series cars? Reason I ask is I did 1 1/2 complete spins today on the turnpike after a truck in front of my lost his oil pan and soaked the road in oil (BIG truck, 18 wheeler). Puckered my ass big time. I am proud to say that the car is unscathed except for the slight crease in the drivers seat. Not a pleasant experience to see the world go around like that at 80+ MPH... Would have been a much easier ride if I hadn't had to miss a bouncing oil pan... |

The We're All Gonna Die detector is a feature of convertible cars. |

How do you retract a deployed roll bar M3 Convertible?
Deployment depends on the 'angle of attack' maybe. On mine (a CLK cabrio)
the roll-bar deploys when going over speed bump too quickly (maybe the sensitivity is set by the govt to keep speeds down...). Fortunately resetting does not require a dealer.

They bleep the words out (at least, over here), but you get the impression she was somewhat startled. epbrown -- "Everybody wants a normal life and a cool car; most people will settle for the car."
