What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[JupiterBMW]

I got her a license plate and took her for a drive

Nice! Speaking of, did you ever send my plate back to me? Hope you're still enjoying her...

Haha to see someone running across the parking lot just to see a car! That's awesome.

Washed, waxed, sealed, armoralled, and exhaust polished. Am I the only one who takes each wheel off to clean the calipers and barrels for every wash?

kudos man, yeah not everyone has the time to jack up the car at each corner and scrub 'er down for every wash. also some of us live in places where it rains more than once a year (jk). i imagine at 18 you have a lot more free time on your hands than those of us with full time job, wives, kids, houses, etc. but your car does look clean!

Jon, he sent it to me by accident, so I have been committing crimes all over the east coast - making sure I back into the parking spaces in front of cameras

Think anybody would pay $70k for that? It's epic, but you can find a new M3 for just a little bit more.

It's all Dinan'ed up and I wouldn't even pay that much haha

Now that's saying something!

Purchased a new belly pan. Mine decided to self destruct. Hopefully I get it before the meet next weekend

They also had an 06 carbon black M3 23,000 miles for $50,000.


Same dealer had a 01 Z8 with under 10,000 miles for 150,000. I think it sold because it wasn't there long.

Every now and then I'll see a Z8 on the Island I live on, its breath-taking, Alpina'd up too.

That m3 has low mileage because no one wanted to get caught driving LSB. Icky color. Too lifeless

Really? I disagree, but to each their own.

Not to mention its an 01...you can get an 04 in this color if you truly like the color.

Today I saw another Estoril e46 M3. Guy was a very enthusiastic owner. Unfortunately it had a grey interior...I just don't know why you spend the money on the paint from BMW Individual Program and get a lame ass grey interior. People are crazy. Gimme black, brown, cinnamon, cool M3 cloth...

Anyway, told him to buy shadowline gloss trim and silver cubes to replace his bubbling Titan II interior trim. He's saving up for oem CSL wheels. Car is gorgeous. No pics though as I was enamored with the color (I ran across the parking lot like a lunatic when I saw it rolling in lol) and we talked for a good half hour.

Sent from my GS3.

Edit: current owner is the second. So interior color was out of his control...

Yeah, thumbs down to grey interior also. I test drove a "regular" 330i before buying my ZHP, it had grey interior I was like "no."

Washed, waxed, sealed, armoralled, and exhaust polished. Am I the only one who takes each wheel off to clean the calipers and barrels for every wash?

I don't think my car has been washed in nearly two months. :shh

I guess I'm chatty this afternoon. As for me, drove her to work. I still have not yet ordered a new shifter bushing, still have the boot and foam out too, car is crazy dirty and looking ghetto as f, but I live in Memphis so when in Rome.

We took both cars to my test day in the Chump Car at TGPR. Noticed when we left wife's ZHP had no license plate lights. These cars must talk to each other because I finally fixed my reverse lights last week (reverse switch). I remembered tonight hers were broken. Hoping it was just the LED bulbs that have been in there for over a year. Nope!! Wiring in the elephant trunk, but I can't pull the rubber back far enough to temporarily fix it with a butt splice. Thinking I may have to tear the whole trunk lid apart to fix it.

I do too now that I bought my new wheels. I don't take them off though. I bought some wheel woolies and I can clean the whole barrel without removing the wheel
