Looks like I jumped ahead by uploading those pictures-
I was pretty sure that you took a lot of pictures while painting the plastic covers for the gutters.
The engine should be good with your maintenance standards. You are doing everything proactively and that is the key.

You did not jump ahead Sergy. When you posted you reminded me that I forgot to post the pictures showing just how dirty the roof racks and tracks were. The roof rails were in rough shape as you saw when I took them off to clean.
The roof rails are actually metal, not plastic so some cleaning and light sanding and the rails were ready to prime then paint. They are good enough until the time comes that I take the car in to repaint the whole thing... that will cost $$$ to have done right...
I will be addressing maintenance issues based on priority since this car has a lot of issues to correct thanks to it's previous owners... it has been positive progress all the way but if you look at it this way... there is only one direction I can go with this car and it will take some time getting there but I will have fun working on this car in the mean time.
Some things I want to get like the CSL Bootlid for sedan will just have to wait based on priorities I have between this car and the other cars I have in my garage... it's like I have to find a balance which is hard to do because I'm having so much fun getting my ZHP sorted...all my other cars are sorted.
These were the fog light fasteners that were on my car when I purchased it
I replaced them with brand new proper fasteners sourced from the dealer. They were very affordable too...
These are the proper fog light fasteners that are supposed to be there to begin with... SMFH
While I was at the dealer I sourced brand new fog light surrounds because I could not locate the ones I took off my M3 and previous ZHP (FML). Once I got them everything was set for my blauzed

As good as my OE microphone has been working in my ZHP I decided to get the new "improved version" which also has better noise cancelling features over the original microphone.
Only paid $39 including shipping for this part
Next up is the TPMS retrofit as detailed in Joop's DIY. I will begin this retrofit in the morning
