Caller: "I don't know, I drive a CRV. I think it's a three series."
911: "Is it a ZHP?"
Caller: "Hell if I know. It has tinted windows. <yelling> ARE YOU SENDING HELP?"

Caller: "Hold one, let me look. <pause> Yeah, a little wing. On the trunk."
911: "Sounds like a ZHP. Sounds like what he is doing is lawful and reasonable. I'd have sex with my car, if it was a ZHP."
Caller: "WHAT?"
911: "Yeah, I know. It looks weird, but no crimes are being committed. He's taking care of his car. If he behavior changes to something dangerous, please call nine-one-one again. Thank you."

I would definitely get the water out as soon as possible, you might get some corrosion or even discoloraiton depending on how long you let the water sit and how much is in there.Quote:

OK, i brought the car in the garage and will try to start taking it apart (thank you, Youtube)
Here is the headlight. All that water you see is on the inside :(

I checked the tabs and they all seem sealed properly, even the rubber piece sitting atop the headlight.

I have new lenses from Kohalty but not the gaskets / seals. I assume just get them at the same place?
Not sure you can get the seals at KhoaltyQuote:

Headlight lens gasket:
Part number: 63128380210
They're about $25 online.
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...380210#fitment (for some reason says it's not compatible with 04/05 sedan but RealOEM says it is)
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...h/63128380210/ -- same P/N from ECS, which says it's compatible
Just installed that ATE brake kit a couple months back. Brake light came on yesterday. Upon closer inspection.... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...635b1f0457.jpg
Anyone ever had luck properly splicing some thing like this?
Out

it's just two wires... should be easy.Quote:

I have spliced those two together not too long ago. I swapped my winter wheels and the wheel rubbed against the sensor wire and triggered the brake warning light. Its only 2 wires and its pretty simple to splice them together using some heat shrink.Quote:

Do you just zip-tie them off to the side somewhere, or remove them altogether? The 135i sensor is different, so I was going to remove them completely —but— I wasn’t sure if the plastic housing where the wires snap together was water-tight enough to leave one end disconnected...Quote:

Yeah.Quote:

Should’ve specified: fronts are the same but won’t sit in the EBC pads for shit. Rears are different. Either way, like Peter said, I have the wheels off enough to check’em myself lol.Quote:

Yea. But they’re only like $3/ea.? I might have an extra pair if you get in a bind.Quote:

Only if you unbolt it from the manifolds... there are two gasket you need in that case
it's a good idea to replace the shifter selector rod gasket... they like to leak.Quote:

I haven't checked the fluid. Hopefully it's just low fluid, maybe? What kind of fluid is best to refill with? I don't seem to have the records for what's in there right now.
Thanks!
Redline D4 ATF is what I used (same as I put in the 6MT).Quote:

Update with more detail:
-- I checked the ATF fluid and it was around the middle of the two markers. Adding a little raised the level fairly high, so I didn't add any additional.
-- There was dirty fluid around the cap and the sides of the canister.
-- Fluid inside does appear to be the 'right stuff,' in that it's bright red.
-- The steering is not consistently stiff. When driving, after a turn, the center position feels very hard to move out of, in either direction. however, once I do start a turn, it gets a bit easier, but then further into the turn, a bit harder again. The result is a weird lumpy feeling in the steering where a full spin of the wheel goes stiff-normal-stiff-normal.
Any thoughts? Is this more likely to be the pump? Anything else I can check? Thanks again!
weird. i would raise the front of the car (wheels off the ground) and then start the car, and turn the steering wheel lock to lock and see how it feels.Quote:

Will a rain tray cover for an M3 fit a ZHP?
The windshield cowl? If so, yes, the P/N is identical for coupe/vert E46, incl M3. Ref: 51718232894Quote:

It runs a bit rough at low rpm off a start but fine when driving it.
Sounds like your power steering fluid pump is failing. I had a leaky steering hose which drained the reservoir while driving. Without fluid my steering wheels would shake violently when turning, a more aggressive version of your symptoms.Quote:

Did you replace the fuel filter when you replaced the pump?Quote:

Does anyone know if they make exhaust hangers for the mid-bracket with longer studs? Maybe for a different BMW model? (#10 in the below screenshot) If not I might have to get creative.

You're having the same problem I'm having with the magnaflow exhaust, eh?
I'd like to find some Solid rubber blocks to take the place of those and see how they do...
It's a shame that magnaflow took a "close enough" approach on that exhaust system. All they had to do is bend enough for another 1/2" of clearance in that area and it would of been good. It's very annoying
