John—the sign outside the wash expressly disavowed any responsibility for damages; and I didn’t immediately discover them anyway. I considered KW V3s and Clubsports, but also read the E46 M3 fora to...
Changed the Roundel on my hood; the same automatic car wash that destroyed my passenger-side headlight trashed the Roundel, too. Also picked up oil, filter, crush washer at the stealership; this...
Oh yes, Mr. Rando! Vorshlag front camber plates, and Öhlins on all four corners; currently dialed to 13/20 clicks of rebound damping. I might soften it all the way for winter; unless I’m just...
Replaced the ballast (thanks, EBay) on my passenger-side headlamp, cleaned corroded contacts on the adaptive curve lighting module and wiring harness plug, and installed a Morimoto anti-flicker...
I’ve always liked the look of the BMW Performance Brembos, too. How do they compare to the stock brakes, both under demanding conditions and daily use? Right now I’m running stock calipers with...
That looks really good! My ZHP is at 157K miles and still on the original clutch (touch wood). But I’m expecting that will change soon enough.

Well,the stealership didn’t corner balance my car, so it was well-aligned but the rear tires disappear behind the fender lip, while the fronts had 25-30 mm of space between tire and rim at Öhlins...
I requested it. Whether or not they’ll actually do it is another question.

Installed my Öhlins rear struts and springs yesterday, along with a tilt sensor for a soon-to-be-enabled alarm system; right now the car is at the dealership for a full alignment w/corner balance. I...
Replaced the two front coilovers on Saturday; I have a few new cuts and bruises to prove it! I didn’t have time to replace the rears before returning to work in Chicago, so front/rear clearance is...
Maybe someday you can! With used E46 M3 prices pushing twice high KBB, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one. So I’m trying to rehab and maximize the potential of my ZHP.
And John, those...
Actually, this is what I’m going to install later next week, when I return from working in Chicago (Oak Park, specifically). Replaces a KW Variant 2 setup that’s seen probably 100,000 miles or more....
That background looks an awful lot like Madison (where I live). Where’s home?

Replaced the sunroof motor (still clicks though; must be the worm cable or the cable sheathing). Installed the newly-arrived Colgan hood and bumper bras. Searched the Net for 6PK1900 serpentine...
I installed a new ZHP shift knob. I was surprised at how much lighter the old ZHP knob was; I'll have to weigh it on the kitchen scale when I get home from work in the morning.

Yesterday I put new shoes on her--PSS 245/40-18s all around. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/ganajahe.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/yraqupet.jpg
Today I added 300mL of LubriMoly Ceratec...
I cleaned all the glass with Sonax cleaner. Anyone know how to remove hard water spots?
Washed my poor girl yesterday. Time for major paint touch-up before I clay and wax. :(
I installed an adjustable clutch stop (I know--woo hoo, but sometimes it's the little things) and dialed in the fit.
I bought new rubber yesterday--Pilot Supersport 245/40-18 x 4. Today I bought two new D-Force Empower 18x8.5 wheels to make a square set. I'm so excited to get off my Winter Sport 3Ds, which are...
That happened to mine about a month ago. Easy fix, though.

If you can boil water, you can do this. A second set of hands is nice for...
Also, looked at KW replacement parts and their pricey but gorgeous hydraulic lift systems. :drool:
