Apparently they didn't get the memo when I placed my order :rofl


ZHP shift knob

I would love a ZHP shift knob - but alas I have an auto. Even if they made one that fit, the shorter, weighted shifter would be lost on me shifting from drive to sport mode. :biggrin


Clears? Oil?


Roundels and a rear wiper motor

Excellent guesses gentlemen. All things I need or have on my to-do/mod list.


Not sure, but I love the Dragon mug.

Hehe... I threw that in to the pic to show the relative size of the box - but also on purpose considering we discussed that road on here a few months back. Glad you approve.

Since I would like to do this teaser thread DW style... I'll drag this out until the morning.... :biggrin (I got nothing but love for ya Dane)





Time for the first hint... It is a tool each of us could use in our garage in the performance of routine maintenance on the ZHPs (or E46s for members like me)!






And a second hint... Use of this tool could improve garage safety....

Chocks....

I have some old school folding chocks that I love - they fold flat and fit nicely in the spare tire well if needed. Highly recommended! Mine are grey... but otherwise are like these on Amazon.com (an affiliate advertiser on ZHP Mafia.com) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&tag=zhpcom-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957) :

Click on the Amazon affiliate link and type in: Safety Steel Folding Wheel Chock Set

I wish I would've bought the set of adapter and jack pads... (http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Jack_Adapter/ES261377/)mine are all chewed up from years of lifting abuse and neglect from POs. I don't know what I was thinking.

I have one of the jack pad adaptors. Every E46 owner should have one.

And what purpose do these jack pad adapters serve? Why aren't the pads on the car sufficient?
I'm confused.

You put them on the jack and then they slide into the jack pads on the car. Basically, you know for sure that the jack is on (in this case IN) the jack pads on the car securely!

Convert your factory pads into a jack pad that you can use on your home car jack
If you have ever tried to use the factory jack pads on your BMW, then you know that they are oddly shaped and frustrating to use.
In addition to being frustrating to use, they have a rectangle shaped base that doesn't safely fit in any conventional home jack.

ECS tuning introduces our very own solution to the frustrating jack pad problem. Our ECS jack pad adapter converts your awkward rectangle jack pad into a small circle that will fit into any conventional floor jack. Simply place the ECS adapter into the factory rectangle jack pad, and lift your BMW easily and safely from your floor jack.

I've never ever had a problem with it not being on the pad... :dunno

Oh well. One less thing to spend money on.

The amount of surface area on the jackpad that's making actual contact with the jack is very limited. I use mine every time I jack the car. Its cheap peace of mind.
