Those look nasty. Theres no way they installed them by hand like you instructed. I'm seriously considering buy a set of harbor freight's coated impact sockets and giving it to my mechanic with the...
The annoying part is that I actually told them before I left them the car, be sure to only torque the lugs to 67 ft/lbs. I always remind them because I was worried they would do this. You can see how...
I just went through this with my local mechanic. Only worse, my wheel locks were just as tight and needed to be drilled out. Even worse still, this was on my almost new VMR VB3's. I'd bring it back...
I had an oil analysis done in october that didn't look too good. Otherwise there were no outward signs, no ticks or odd noises. The car ran as it should....
Drove my car in the freezing cold again today. I opted to let it sit all day yesterday when the wind chill brought the temp down to a toasty -26* F. Just replaced the rod bearings a few days ago so...
^I did something similar...

I got bored and decided to paint my winter wheels to hide the rash and oxidation from the PO's neglect. I went with plastidip's vintage gold and a few layers of glossifier overtop. Came out great......
Ordered some alcantara goodies from Cobywheel. My current leather wheel is well beyond shot. Can't wait!
That custom ZHP knob is pretty cool. Idk about the blue, but a perforated knob sounds sweet.
I'll be headed home from school in a few hours and I'll finally get to drive my car again. It's been a little over a month since I've seen it let alone drive it. I plan to treat her real nice this...
Very nice zhpnsnv. Gotta love the 135i. I've been dying to drive one with the powerkit or JB4.
^In a word, Yes
Drove the ///M to work today...

Also spent the better part of my morning detailing my mom's SUV for her. This is what my clay...
^Thanks guys! I'm gonna leave them black for a bit and see how I like it, I applied the dip in heavy coats so it should peel off pretty easily if I chose to do so.
Blacked out my side grilles with some Plasti-dip today. I can't decide if I like the look 100%. But I'll rock it for the time being, that's the beauty of dip...
Before:...
These past few days, I've had to drive the ///M the 60 miles round trip to work. The bugs on my bumper and windshield are crazy. I think tomorrow it deserves a good hand wash and a thorough...
Suddenly, knowing that you can do LED headlight retrofits to newer cars, my E46 seem old. Super Jelly, excellent job sir.
It was a 5.0, and he was lowered on Koni Yellows. K&N cold air intake and a Flowmaster rear section. It sounded amazing and was crazy fast down the main straight of the course. But I must have caught...
^LED headlight conversion? Looks awesome!!
Took the M3 to a cars and coffee meet this morning down in Bethlehem, PA. Saw this nice Imola ZHP there, this guy must drive his car hard. Look at the...
Finally found time to pickup my newly repainted side skirts today. My car looks like a 4X4 without them.
Went to an AutoX this past Sunday. Made me love my car even more...

Gave the ///M a wash today, then I started to repaint the calipers back to silver. I also emptied the trunk to prepare for an AutoX tomorrow.
I'm also not so patiently awaiting a new to me M3...
I'm sure I will get some flack for this, but I used Royal Purple in my old 328ci for 60k miles without issue. It helped with engaging first from a stop.
Opened my trunk yesterday, and almost ripped the handle from the lid. I took it off today only to find that half of the mounting points had been ripped off. I decided to try epoxying it back together...
