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

Ordered some new shoes for the car. More to come when they get here. I am super stoked.

Woke up and decided to knock out another step. Removed hole in rear panel where wiring exited for the U.S. Tag lighting. Enlarged new hole to accept the rubber grommet on the new lower hole for the euro wiring. Wrapped tag wiring in new harness cloth tape.

If so, remove carpet floor mats and wash with hose and then air dry for a day or so

No, I don't have the carpet floor mats anymore. They were trashed when I bought the car so I threw them out.

BP, do you have cracks in your winter mats? my black coupe came with winter mats that the previous owner i think used year-round... anyway, they leaked.

No cracks; mine are solid. The only holes they have in them are the holes I had to punch to make them fit the E46 hooks. My mats are from an E90 335xi. I don't have a problem with them leaking, but I do find way more crud all around the mat than I'd like.

I'd love to be able to buy some WeatherTech mats but unfortunately those are almost last on my list.

What are you looking to get for them? If they're still around by the time I'm ready for them I could take them off your hands...

Just tires for now :). I actually have another set of wheels for it haha. But I want to do a stud conversion before I put those on

If they are down there they are all yours. I use them between wheels in storage

Your car looks awesome BP.

Good stuff Guy, Stu.
