Nice job! I have to do the same stupid procedure on my M5 when checking oil level. I always struggle to find perfectly flat ground.

i mean its my garage and i ASSUME its flat or rather HOPE lol.

Also another update... got the CF bar in and thought oh this was be easy and quick... nope lol. first my studs for the tophats were off due to my recent alignment. both sets of studs from both sides were pushed too far inward.. i had to jack the car up on both sides and pull the tophats out slightly on both sides until the studs were centered on the holes. I know why this happened because when I got my first alignment i had 19s and even though my tophats have camber adjustment, they needed more adjustment because of the 19s and used the strut had mount holes for additional camber. now that I have 18s, i will get re aligned later and the normal camber adjustments will be fine if they even need them.

Next i didnt know i had to extend the hood switch wires, modify and relocate/rotate the power distribution block yuck... luckily i found Sean (ELCID86) here on the ZHPmafia when he posted up his install thread. he had pictures I used to help. so I got that portion done as well.

strut hats before adjustment. they are too far in the mount holes so i pulled them more towards the center on each side.

Looks Great. Polish up the Vanos and see if Max has any Billet oil Filter caps left.

Glad I could help ;-) ZHP Bruce is the boss at that mod.

Looks amazing!

Thanks guys I can't stop popping the hood it looks so damn good.

I'll take a look at that oil cap but I'm pretty tapped right now so I'm going to hold off on mods for a while and try to recoup a little bit lol

On a side note does anyone know how or why these bars crack? When I had the end pieces removed I could see that this carbon fiber bar is pretty much Hollow and weighs less than half a pound. That is darn scary when you think about how much force is being exerted across this bar on cars with coilovers and lowered with stiff suspension. It scares me to death now thinking that all it takes is hard turn or stiff bump to break or crack it.

I hear they make nice wall art if they break though.

Btw I sent you a PM on tapatalk chat earlier today. It’s super glitchy, so let me know if you didn’t get it.
