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

ZOMG

Brain is fried, just caught up on about 20 pages of this thread, 40 post per page? Something like that, can't do math right now, ha.

Tried out some BMW branded windshield wiper fluid concentrate in the i3 today, yippee, only cost about $9 but I think I'll get the $3 jug from walmart next time.

She's also charging in the shop at work right now. Lots to update, will update "project" thread, most notable change is H&R Springs, dropped her 1.25" and has transformed the way the car handles, with little to no deterioration in ride quality.

FINALLY had time to get some work done on the E90.

LCI trunk, LCI tail conversion and CF BMW Performance spoiler all installed.

Also, your photos for the gauges are just attachment links that lead to a dead page.

It's plastic, so far I have it just in the doors. It fits pretty much anywhere so I want to try it in some other places like the center console. Here is the link from Bimmian if you want to check it out:

Also fixed the broken gauge pics.

I too am trying to learn how to not use certain words...regretfully they are deep rooted

Washed the X5 today... Well, took it to the car wash and watched someone else wash it... :rofl

Moved the M3 over in the driveway so I could get the X5 out of the garage...

I unfortunately caught a cold or something last night, so today was a very low speed day for me.

Good stuff all. I finally get to put something in here again for mine. Took out my 12mm spacers in the front and put 10mm all the way around, and (finally) got my new 'vintage' CA plates.

Replaced the upper boot at the end of summer and inspected the lower boot, which seemed OK. I think I'll dive in for a better inspection and to clean ICV.

@bosszhp: How is the gas gauge not correct? Also, how does the gauge do in different levels of light? It seems like the white numbers on light gray gauge background would wash out in certain light conditions. They look awesome in your photos though.

@UDubBadger: Looks good, what changes were there between your old trunk and tails and the LCI ones?

@johnrando: Why the switch from 12mm to 10mm? And I like the black California plates! They remind me of our simple Oregon blue plates.

I only bought 12mm as that was all I could get at the time I was installing my BBK. I needed spacers to fit the kit on, so they were front only. With my car, 12mm doesn't fit in the rear, so I finally got 10's and installed them all the way around (I'm 8.5 square on the wheels).

Took me a minute JR. But I finally got the plate.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46f member
