That's from rocks?
145k and I've never replaced one. Seems odd you go through so many.
LOL i thought I was the only one. The trim piece comes out so easily, I don't know how it stays on, on the roadQuote:

^i did that too.
I need info on the strips which run for-and-aft on the roof for mounting ski racks, Google cams, etc. One of mine just got blown completely off in a carwash.
What terms would I enter to search on this subject, please? I thought of "rail" but that's not working.
"Roof moulding" is what you're looking for. I don't think you can get just the flap/cover on its own, I think you have to get the whole assembly if you're buying new. I'd find your part number via RealOEM under:Quote:

Right: 51138208690

Thanks! What I'm trying to do is replace all the clips on my roof molding. I picked it up at the carwash today, two days after the carwash stole it, and it seems to be in great shape (one tiny chip: that's it).
But I remember it being a bit less than tight on the car beforehand. With 'roof molding' in hand I can REALOEM or whatever.
Thanks again.
Dave, can you post a link to the lens you bought?Quote:

I'm curious as well. It would be great to put this info in a thread in the Lighting forum vs. searching through the 410 pages of this one. Lighting forum:Quote:

Question: is there any reason to believe a rear view mirror from a RHD car is any different than one from a LHD car? I know side mirrors are different between the two. I found a great deal on a Z4M mirror (please nobody steal it!) but it's from a RHD model.
Not sure but if it has homelink buttons on it perhaps they would be on the opposite side?
What's a good battery charger? Looking to install the shark this weekend, but I need a battery charger.
Looking at this:

No Homelink, just the cool inverted trapezoid (which I think is a neat alternative to the M3/M5 oval). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...193ada3b8c.jpgQuote:

For the software install, it's best to have a charger that will at least put out a couple of amps. I have two chargers: one for trickle/maintain (BMW branded) and one from harbor freight that puts out a max 6 amps that I use for software updates.
If you just have a trickle charger you can always do the DME read then charge back up and do the write to the DME. I know with my tunes from ESS, the read takes much longer that the write.
Some people just fully charge and do both at the same time but I like to play it safe
Thank you for the tip. I'd prefer to play it safe. I'll snag a good charger, always a good tool to have in the garage anyway. I get nervous messing with the software of the car.Quote:

Ah okay. When I asked him a couple of months ago he suggested I remove the shark tune before sending it to him.
He was able to do mine with my Dinan tune still the DME but ultimately he's the one that will know. IDK how much of the DME the shark tunes overwrites but there is a good chance that if you reinstall the tune after he modifies it, it will overwrite what he did
Gotcha. I'll just ask him again whenever I get around to taking the plunge. I'm (blindly) holding out hope for someone to figure out coding on shift lights for the M3 cluster but coded for the M54...Quote:

Ok, I'm puzzled. I have a low tire and after searching the garage to find the tire air attachment (that was right where I left it so I wouldn't forget!) I can't get air into the tire. Tire has about 28lbs in it. I tried a bike tire and it fills fine. The compressor is on and fill line is wide open. I've disconnected and reconnected both ends. Any ideas??

Never mind. It's now working. I didn't change anything other than cutting pressure to the line and going to do some yard work... weird. Maybe it was the honey do list...Quote:

Why not? Except for the fact that they don't have very good initial bite, minimal dust is nice, and the front brakes do most of the braking. Here are 2 threads from the Maintenance section searching using "brake pads":Quote:

Anyone have a vert rear view mirror in a coupe/sedan? The vert has the central locking antenna in the mirror, and I don't cook my new Z4 mirror. Basically: do I need to move pins around?
I've searched to no avail. If it makes any difference, my E9x homelink/compass mirror was 100% plug and play.
What brand thermostat do you guys use? I think I have Wahler in my sister's car, but I can't remember what I have in mine and I'm planning to help my dad with his cooling system refresh in June.
