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

Nothing fancy at all!

A wheel cleaner:

A regular wheel brush:

And a used toothbrush to get in between the spokes.

I think you posted the same link twice
One thing I found really useful on my X3's Style 205s was to dedicate a microfiber to permanent wheel duty, and basically floss between the parallel spokes. It's a technique I transferred to the 135Ms with good results when I still had them on.

You're right. I messed up. Fixed the link now.

My buddy who was cleaning his winter wheels (style 343 reps I believe) yesterday was doing something similar. He was using discarded socks to clean in-between the spokes. I might do that next time.

I finally got around to replacing the rear tires on my car. It's been sitting with a flat for almost 3 months. I had to have all the TPMS sensor removed and all 4 wheels rebalanced because Hella discontinued my TPMS system and I can't find replacement sensors anywhere. Very bummed about that because it was a great system that monitored wheel temperature too.

Also found out during alignment that one of my trailing arms is bent. WTF? I never remember hitting anything that would of bent it...

Yep - I have a bag of socks that I saved from my kids when a hole developed. Good to use under the hood, too. Slip one on your hand & go to work!

Sigh...I bought M3 side mirrors. I wasn't really looking to spend money on them but they were too cheap to pass on.

You gonna hit em with a rattle can or just cover them in blue painters tape and call it close enough?

Probably the latter. I've got some black duct tape with a decent level of gloss I can use on the mirror bases.
