Just talked to a guy last night that had the same issue on his M3 -- CSB went bad and it allowed the u-joint to wear out. He got a used driveshaft on ebay for cheap and it fixed it right up.Quote:

I'm trying to get a hold of my mechanic to go that route. I just cannot justify a brand new driveshaft from BMW.Quote:

I just replace mine with a BMW Factory unit came with CBS and FD from Tri-County BMW $850. The place in Texas was $650 plus shipping I believe. Piece of mind for me was worth the little bit extra cost.Quote:

The re-man driveshaft is $444 including return shipping the core.
Yesterday I picked up the ZHP from the mechanic. It feels great to have the car in daily duties again!
On the way home, I received some nice comments from someone at a stoplight. That made my day!

Nice. I briefly drove a buddy’s Volvo for a few days. Cushy? Yes. Performance? See: cushy.Quote:

Today, the transmission got fixed. Apparently, the drain plug seal wore out and fluid started to leak. The shop also replaced the shifter seal as that was leaking as well. That said, I'm really, really happy with the shop and the quality of their work.
Hopefully no more leaks or issues for a while. It's been an expensive month.
Nice. Hopefully the issues are fixedQuote:

Since the ZHP has been removed from DD for a week or two, it appears the car alarm has been randomly going off. After doing some research and checking the battery voltage, it appears the hood sensor may be starting to fail. Others have previously reported it. So, I have it disconnected and will be checking to see if the alarm goes off again.
Sadly to replace it, it is $45 :/
Yep! that's the problem... if you're not worried about somebody prying open your hood to steal random parts, just leave it disconnected.
Ha same thing has been happening to me as well.Quote:

Saved the ZHP yesterday by not driving it to work. Had the unfortunate pleasure of getting rear ended by an older F150 in my 4runner. Thankfully, there is no apparent damage to the truck. I think the trailer hitch took the brunt of the impact. I have an appointment scheduled with the body shop to review possible damage.
Phew!

That was lucky for the ZHP!
Rear-end collisions are real popular around Charleston. It's got me so paranoid...
Given the amount of force, my ZHP would have been totaled. I'm a little nervous driving the ZHP today.... :/
That sucks! Glad to hear you’re okay, your truck appears to be okay, and your ZHP sits safely at home

Today I changed the oil in the ZHP. I noticed while changing the oil the corners on the oil filter housing are getting rounded. Looks like I'll need to replace it next change.

Nice floor in that garage ! :)
Yeah it is. The prior owner had it installed. That said, I need to get new car ramps because the wooden ones I have move when I try to get the car up on them.Quote:

Get some nice carpet to lay down like @hornung418 usesQuote:

Op I'm assuming you are using the oil filter socket? You're a few oil changes ahead of me so even with it I can imagine some wearhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94f48c9b68.jpgQuote:

lol Talk about going about everything all wrong. I had my car up on the lift earlier and went to remove the strut tower bar and was surprised when the strut just kind of fell down out of the tower. :facepalmQuote:
