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

[Galapolis]

seen too many accidents in my life and I get ill just looking at this picture..... maybe at least slide a wheel under the side skirt until you get a jackstand under there? Scary

Be safe!

I was replacing my rear sway bar with two jacks once when the road literally caved in and the car fell over. Luckily I put a tire underneath it.

^^ yep. When my car is up. I have two redundancies. lol I need a lift at home! But then the car might not have a roof after using it.

Replaced the two front coilovers on Saturday; I have a few new cuts and bruises to prove it! I didn’t have time to replace the rears before returning to work in Chicago, so front/rear clearance is mismatched, camber is only 0.4-0.5°, toe is probably too low at 1/16”-1/8,” and caster measures a whopping 16.9° unless I really mismeasured. The Vorshlag camber plates are new and came set to maximum caster; I’ll reset them to neutral or decreased caster after talking with Vorshlag. But it’s really nice NOT scraping my plastics on every other dip, and not cringing every time I hit a bump!

Broke the bolt while torquing the tensioner pulley. If the bolt extractor doesn’t work then I’ll need a new oil filter housing.

Sounds like a good excuse for an S54 OFH with oil cooler

Well I was half joking lol...while it does bolt right onto the M54 block it’s still a bit of work to sort out. Here’s some light reading material for you.

If we ever got M3s in the junkyards here I probably would’ve done it by now. But last time I looked I couldn’t find any S54 OFHs for a price I was willing to pay.

PM me if you end up needing the OFH. I have one you can have for price of shipping.

Really appreciate the offer but I was able to get the broken bolt off yesterday
