The expansion tank problem - does it also apply to ZHPs?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

My question is...if a vert, a coupe, and a sedan pulled into the, said shop...which would take home the owners sister?

Does the sister have children or friends with her?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

+1 damn good question.

What I am saying, though, is that we need a post that lays out the part and the corresponding part number. I think it would be helpful. ECS does not break it out by part number.

See below for my cheat sheet. Not 100% on part numbers but it's a thorough list with options, add'l stuff for auto-trans E46's, footnotes, damn near the whole shebang. Feel free to suggest improvements, it's a work-in-progress...

Good info, Mark. And, yes, that's really good pricing on the AutohausAZ site.

I can print out all the part #'s that I give out at work for a complete coolant system re-hose

It depends on whatever the sister wants to do after the ZHP owner takes her on a dinner date ....if just kiss on the first date maybe the coupe or the vert but if the sister wants to do more than just a kiss on the first date she would pick the 4 door ZHP coz there is more leg room in the back seat ....lol

Just had a look and unfortunately it ain't the Behr version at AutohausAZ. Also, the current p/n is 17117573781. $59 for Genuine BMW @ Husker BMW. $50 for Meyle version @ ECS tuning.

Ahh. I see what happened. When I put that part number in, it took me to a different expansion tank. Good catch.

How about some advice for someone new to this: I bought my ZHP used at 50k miles, and it has the original cooling system as far as I know. If I wanted to swap it out for new parts (just as preventative maintenance), it seems like the ECS kit would be a good way to do that. About how much should I expect to pay to have that kit installed?
