Got new shoes for the ZHP today - Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4's. Costco Tire Center also installed internal TPMS sensors, so I can monitor tire pressure/temperature in real-time with alerts.

I've never seen that fabric before and I love it. Unfortunately the upholstery shops close to me are way too expensive. They all quote around $4k. Gone are the days of re-upholstery costing $1k or...

I really like the black fabric versions. If I keep them I'd pair them up with the black fabric centers I have for the rears (from original fabric/alcantara set) and use leather rear side bolsters...

Feel free to PM me what you are looking for exactly (your exact 'dream configuration' - seat, leather, color, options, etc...) and I can hook you up with door-to-door shipping from my many contacts....

BMW E85 Z4 M-Sport seats. 2003-2008 era. These are super nice to have in the ZHP as they match the OEM style of our cars yet were the inspiration for the modern seats in today's M cars so they do not...

Manual ones are 9-10 lbs lighter than the ones that are powered (both have heating elements). Just under 50 lbs. I've noticed that the manual ones have noticeably less range of motion - can't move...

Re-arranging seats for the ZHP. Heated/powered/leather or heated/manual/fabric... Decisions, decisions. Thinking about putting both for sale locally and letting market decide which I should have. One...

Installed my alcantara wrapped wheel tonight (Coby Wheel). Also did the shift boot and manual shifter, but I'm letting the glue dry to the alcantara until tomorrow. I thought I would like Nappa...

Thanks for offer but I don't think it will be a problem - just have to set aside some time to do it. I do have PA soft, INPA and NCS expert. Worst case I'll download NCS dummy to make it easier. I...

I got manual adjusting/heated BMW E85 M seats for the ZHP. I'll dig into them more tomorrow to make sure they are also plug and play like my current powered / heated E85 M seats. I'm thinking the...

Nabbed an original LCM SW 4.5 off of ebay for $50. I saw there's also a 4.0 version for the same price.

Looks like I will be playing around with LCM coding in the future.

Hm, it should work if you already have an auto-dimming mirror. All EXX series BMW's use the same mirror connections I think. I didn't have an auto-dimming mirror so I had to wire in pins 3 (12V) and...

Decided to retrofitted the E90 hidden compass + auto-dimming mirror into the E46. It's a mod I've always wanted to do, but just kept putting off.

Yeah, they look a lot better in person believe it or not - especially from the rear seats. You'll understand once you get your pair. Have some patience it took me a few months of looking around! Good...

Unsure right now. It's in very good condition (never altered or touched-up) except for a minor ding or two and a one or two tabs broken. With Birch being so rare and irreplaceable - there's no...

Swapped out the Silver Cube trim for the Birch today, pics taken about 2 hrs ago :thumbsup:

Mine needed a lot more than 3V to trigger it. 4.5V didn't do it and my rears were around 3.5-4.0V according to the voltmeter. The relay would try to trigger and would just make a bunch of rapid pops...

I just finished wire tapping the angel eye triggers to the license plate light so they can be toggled on/off with the parking lights with the LCM switch. Previously I had it tapped to the tail...

Finished swapping out the alcantara interior and putting in the black leather. Topped up fluids too. The seats are a bit too firm for my liking, but luckily there's cheap aftermarket remedies for...

Yeah, they do look very nice but dang I do miss my fabric/alcantara seats after driving in them for 3 hrs today. They have much less cushion/foam (of course). The bolsters hold you in, but I am a lot...

Nice, I can't wait to see pics.

I installed some of my interior parts today (E85 M front seats / E85 M Steering wheel), leather interior next (door cards, rear seats, shifter/e brake boot):

For cruise control you need to set it with the stalk as this was moved to the stalk for the E85 cars. You can transfer the E85 stalk controls to E46's too. In the 12 yrs I've owned the car, I've...

I refreshed a Z4M steering wheel I will be trying out with the ZHP.

(1) I cleaned and re-conditioned the Nappa leather (leatherique), used a heat gun to get rid of many of the creases/wrinkles in...

I totally would but I need sedan rear seats and door cards. Local offerings all need to be re-upholstered.

It's the shipping that gets you. They are plentiful in the UK. Here's a small sample that are listed now (I converted prices to USD for you). If anyone is serious about plunking down some change,...
