The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[704sw]

Has anyone bought APEX wheel spacers before? If I purchased 5mm spacers, would I need longer lug nuts or would the factory lugs be fine?

If it were me, I'd go with the longer lugs.

I haven't bought APEX spacers before but I have a pretty penny invested in all size of spacers. You should be good with the factory lugs for 5mm spacers.

I know they'll bite, but I don't know how comfortable I'd be with it. Hell, even my Macht Schnell 3mm spacers came with longer lugs.

It's been a while. KW V1's use E36 ///M3 and/or adjustable endlinks? Question being NOT standard E46 endlinks correct? Thanks in advance.

Another part number request...

Need to buy a pair of these stock mirror insulation foam thingies, but RealOEM doesn't show them on the page where the outside mirrors are. Need left and right side part numbers..

Please and thank you!

I believe the foam thingy may be part of the mirror assembly and is not sold separately (hence no part number for it). If you see the following link for the mirror assembly, you will see that the foam is part of it:

But an assembly also comes with a motor, which is available separately...
I guess I'm just hoping that I can get it separately, but it wouldn't surprise me if I couldn't. Hopefully someone finds a part number for it! I can't seem to buy this piece separately on eBay either since nobody seems to sell it. I bought a pair of stock mirrors to use while my M3 ones get fixed once and for all, but I can't mount 'em without these insulation pieces. The wind noise would drive me up a wall. lol

Once you take off your M3 mirrors to send for repair you should be able to use the foam that is currently on them?

BP, I have one you can have. Not sure what side. I'm sure you do. Someone else hear probably has the other one for you.

Has anyone purchased (and used) this jack?

I have. I wish I'd shelled out for the aluminum model, because these things are HEAVY in steel. Otherwise no complaint.

Understood. Thanks

I can't use those because they are a different shape and much smaller.

Thanks Shawn, that's not the right one though.
I did find what I needed at a pick n'pull that I just found near me. Best of all: I didn't have to pay nearly $40 for the screws from the dealer, and the foams were intact.
