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

Had a bit of confusion and a fun time using Google Translate with the seller but this should hopefully be arriving at my door in the next few weeks:

These things are awesome but also why? Thinking you'll pull a trailer when you move?

Yeah, pretty much. I got a few quotes from a few moving companies and it's just too expensive. I could maybe forgo bringing a bunch of stuff and trying to sell it off and buying it again, but it's a lot of hassle and some of it is just too expensive to buy (such as my toe and scale jigs).

A U-Haul 4'x8' trailer would only be about $3-400 for the amount of time I would need it. And I can fit stuff such as my toolbox, Sparco seat, track tires, toe & scale jigs, floor jack, computer chair, etc.

I was inspired by @Tnhl1989 who basically did the same, pulling a small trailer like that is basically no sweat for our cars

Very nice!

I took out my Silver Cube interior trim which is in excellent condition, individually wrapped them and then put them in a box and put the box away so that they will remain in excellent condition. I have checked out pricing for replacement Silver Cube interior trim and they have gone up considerably so I put in Piano Black (I think this is what it's called) interior trim instead.

Car was cleaned up really nice this morning. I may go to the garage later today and start applying another coat of wax to my car. Feels great to be driving my M3 again

Really like what you've done with it!


Replaced all my steering lines. I also replaced my steering rack, that was most of my steering clunk. Turns out the shaft within the rack isn't supposed to move, and that's why I had "variable straight steering".

It’s now ‘her’ car - and it got a nice cleaning for the summer

Nice. (And, shiny!)

Got my car back from the body shop, got the rear bumper repaired. Paint match looks dead on, unfortunately it was raining so it was hard to tell how nice it truly was. But in touching the paint, it feels super smooth and slick, and the guy cut + buffed it (2000 grit wetsand, then compound & polish). I had a few white spots on the diffuser due to fade and he even painted that with black trim paint without me asking, really nice of him.





But, my backup cam no longer worked! After a few minutes of snooping I found this:



I'm not going to ask him about this because he didn't charge me for removal & reinstallation of the bumper, and he painted my diffuser... but man, I just wished he'd taken a bit more care with the camera wires, because they're tiny ~30 gauge and take some effort to solder.

Thanks! I still have more planned for this ride.... Hieu will most likely give me a much deserved hard time when I get one of the items installed.... I know he has waited a long time to see it happen... I will get to this when other priorities stop getting in the way...
