Thanks guys, it does look cool and more in line with the rest of the build quality. No idea if it was necessary but it's a PITA to get in and out so if I felt any roughness I'd always be kicking myself. Now I'm certain it will be smooth as butta.

William.

Does anyone know or has anyone done this? Can you wash your OEM BMW car cover? Mine is getting filthy and i want to "mod" it but I want to wash it first

You can wash it, J.

It's been off the road for almost 2 weeks, but it's so much better to drive now!

-rebuilt vanos with beisan rattle kit and seals
-new valve cover gaskets/rings
-outer upper and lower rear control arm bushings using the Meyle hd upper bushings for top and bottom.
- new eccentric bolts/washers in rear LCA
- new bushings in subframe to frame positions
- turner subframe reinforcement kit welded in and surfaces refinished
-rebuilt shifter with all new bushings, clips, boots, etc...
-new alcantara shift boot and shifter knob
-sanded down and repainted rear wheel wells to remove rust, repainted with color matched Imola red paint
- replaced FCABs
-installed Turner's FCAB limiter kit
- braided stainless brake lines all around, brake flush.
-Oil change
-alignment

Oh boy it was a busy time, I spent 40-50 hours on it to do all this, including making a few tools to remove and reinstall the upper subframe bushings.

How do you know if you have to fix subframe (subframe repair)? There is some test right

You had to take to dealer for subframe inspection under recall. You could DIY I suppose, if you know what you're looking for.

I believe ZHPs aren't really affected. Too late in the production process...
