<E30> Parts needed and A/C question and belt squeal ques.

["Chris Hickersberger" <hickersb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone's parting their car, or just has some of this stuff laying around,
please drop me a line...
I have a 87 325is....

Looking for:

1) The external temp sensor.

2) Contents of the toolkit.  Mine's empty except for a 10 or 12mm wrench..
cant remember which....

3) Front spoiler - one w/ cutouts for factory foglights

Also, it seems my condensor (the one under the hood, that is the condensor,
right?) is leaking freon....  I'm wondering if anyone could give me their
opinion on whether this is a good time to have it converted over to R134, I
know last summer when I got it filled (R12) , it was a quite expensive
(~$150)
What else would I need to have changed if I got it converted (I know the
receiver/dryer needs to be changed, but I get contradictory answers on the
compressor and hoses...)

Finally, I seem to be getting some squealing from the alternator/belt when
the engine goes from idle to around 3K... (Idling, no sound..  800-3K rpm =
squeal.. 3k-6.5K rpm, no squeal)  It seems to be related to alternator load
(e.g. turn off stereo, blower, its minimized) and happens when amibient temp
is under 45-50 degrees, or when its raining and I'm driving through puddles.
I had the belt replaced last summer, and didnt have a problem until november
of 98....  Am I risking it breaking prematurely if I dont have something
done...?   Could it be alternator bearings??  Should I try those belt
dressings or will those degrade the rubber?
