Pretty cool you've got two, the updated parts being added on is great.

Agreed. With my sedan exceeding 200K miles, I felt it smart to get a backup. And what's better to backup a beloved ZHP than another!
Today the coupe gets a new roundel for the hood.
Tomorrow, the coupe goes in for a oil pan gasket replacement. Motor mounts don't look bad, yet with 130+ miles, makes sense to replace now.
COUPE: Oil pan gasket and related o-rings, motor mounts, steering coupling/guibo thing replaced. YEA! NO LEAKS!
Now.... More fixing... Broken overhead panel (roof switch, mic) gets replaced. This is a good thing as I was getting Mad at Gravity. Double sided tape just didn't cut it.
Pass-side headlight. Apparently it was not the bulb.. Time to test the fine motor skills..
Drive to a little local BMW meet. The back end is a little wiggly. RTABs next. Maybe shocks...
QUESTION:
Blessed with a P2240 code on the way home from purchasing it, I decided to later replace the O2 sensors. Code does not reappear, yet I still have missing while under moderate acceleration, between 2500 & 3000 rpms. Thoughts?
Solute!

Yes, I replaced with Genuine Bosch sensors in the top of the exhaust manifold. I haven't tried the MAF sensor swap yet.
I pivoted over to the coupe's rear suspension. Under the guidance of the http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...M-SACHS-Setup), I replaced the dampers, stops, mounts with E36 & E46 parts.
Today, I had the RTABs replaced with Meyle HDs and were told they weren't really bad. Yet, now I have new as opposed original @ 138K miles.
Alignment is next and soon. Back end seems a little firmer, but still a little wag in the rear. Just might be the cheap Ironman tires the PO had put on.. I'm keeping an eye out for used M3 sway bars.
Also replaced the headlight bulbs last week Osram Night Breakers. They have great output, but they are currently shining at the ground ~about 20 feet in front of the car. Hoping its just adjustment.
Alignment done and finally gat it some cosmetic love, polish & wax. Looks as good as it can sans repaint where needed.
Had some fun taking a few pics today, 1 below.
