GotZHP's E46 330i ZHP Maintenance & Build Thread w/ Pics & DIYS

Yuck! That's some seriously gross stuff, glad you got around to getting it replaced.

Your spreadsheet reminds me (looks good btw), I need to really update my maintenance spreadsheet to be more detailed than it currently is. I shudder to think at how much I've spent so far...

I just finalized putting in all of the $$$ and I am shuddering a bit already. I figure I am catching up on 2-3 years of neglect plus items that should be serviced at or after 100,000 miles. Just wish I could have spent all this money on mods

Nice work!
WRT the belt diagram in an earlier thread. I keep this in DropBox and on my phone.

I have a similar one on my phone with a picture as well. Always a good idea to have this diagram before starting work.

No work this past weekend. Slept in to 11 or 12 both days which was awesome. Seriously sleep deprived from the past 4 weeks.

Car rolled past 110,000 miles! Starting to get a shimmy at ~85MPH but its not major yet. Putting it on the trouble shoot list.

I am going to update the first post tonight to cover work that has been done, and work that still needs to be done.

ALSO, will be doing some modification next weekend!!!! I am getting an Amp, Subwoofer, and capacitor for free. I am not sure of specs & diemensions, but I have heard the system before and it is plenty of kick to go with the OEM system for now. It is coming from a friend's truck, so I am pretty certain it is one of those low-profile style woofer. Will have some more updates on that later this week!

Not sure if this will help any, but I spent $4,000 in 1 year, 3 months of ownership.

DAYUM. I hope that includes some fun mods and not just maintenance. I was figuring 1,500 to 2,000 a year for the first couple of years til everything is new again. Then hopefully sub $1,000 for maintenance.

Going to try not to go over board with Mods on this car.... for now...

Don't feel bad. I'm confident I've spent even more in the last 14 months of ownership

I'm in the same boat, close to $3500 in about a year and a half...

Have another oil leak. Car took almost a full quart yesterday. Need to investigate

[GotZHP]

Well, Looks like a new oil pan gasket is needed.
