    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...

    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...

    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.

    John, the car seems even faster with the upgrades. Since changing out the radiator and thermostat, and upgrading the plugs, I’ve had no more misfires. It may be my imagination, but it seems to pull...

    I actually think the Mishimoto radiator and Zionsville Racing thermostat run the engine cooler; then again, it’s not yet summer.

    I’m a critical-care nurse; I mostly work in ICUs, though I also...
