Honestly I'm just asking, I have no idea yet if mine have been done, I need to get it up on a lift. I just thought that would be a cool idea, kinda like the fender roller. :cheers

Good idea.

I recently replaced my compact spare with a full size spare (thanks for the pointers on sizing and stuff guys!), so now I have a compact spare that is looking for a new home. It looks brand new and holds air. I'm in Santa Cruz, CA and I travel around the bay area and California at large often, let me know if you want it! I'd also ship it if someone wants to cover that expense.

What'd you find for a suitable spare? The one I tried wouldn't allow the trunk panel to lay flat.

My trunk panel does not lie entirely flat now, but it's less than half an inch too high so I'll live with it. I bought a single 18x8 style 135 on eBay and got a Michelin pilot sport a/s 3 for $60 to go with it. That particular tire has a really substantial ridge near the rim which is a little wider than the wheel itself. I bet with a more conventional sidewalled tire it'd be a perfect fit in the wheel well.

I tried a wheel that didn't allow the panel to lie flush. I'm still searching...

I'm ok with the donut in the trunk. When I sell the e90 I plan to keep its full size spare for the ZHP.

Ebay has Michelin tires for $60 ? In good shape ?

The e90 has sports package. I found an used OEM wheel style 162 (front size) on ebay. I'm pretty sure style 162 and 135 are compatible, but I didn't verify.

Looking back it was actually $70 for the one Michelin Pilot Sport a/s 3. I'd be pretty happy with four of them to make a set.

Does anyone have a hood roundel laying that isn't in crap condition? The sun beat mine up pretty badly.

i picked up a good used one on ebay for $10 shipped...

I bought a new one on ebay for $7. The ad had an OEM part number and the "original" word in it. But it seems to be a knock off. The seller is located in USA, another factor for my mistake. Don't let this happen to you !

From my past experience: the knock off roundels look nice in the beginning, but they will fade quickly under the sun.

Well I guess I'll stay away from eBay. I guess I'll just search around for the best price on an OEM roundel.

Damn Bruce!!! I'm starting to feel like it's a little bit like Christmas! I don't know what else to say but thanks!!! :thumbsup :biggrin

I'm assuming I should apply this item towards my ZHP....am I correct?
06-12-2015, 05:29 PM

Apply it wherever you decide, but with only one item you've got a though choice to make.

I'm guessing you'll be waiting by the mailbox tomorrow afternoon, like a 5 year old waiting for Santa, and as you should be, hehe...

IIRC, the box measured 14" x 10" x 9", and was heavy.

Hey fredo! I'm in Utica, NY with BP at the moment meeting up with Peter so we can install Peter's ZHP front heated lumbar seats into my ZHP so I'll just have to wait until Monday to see just what Bruce and Brett sent me ;)

I just replaced my FCAB's so my old lollipops are chilling in the garage. Definitely will need a press tool to get the old ones out but could save some money by only buying the bushings. Anyone interested?

I have a new, never used, coolant temp. sensor. I ordered a Genuine part, but was sent an FAE OE supplier part. If you want it, it is yours for the cost of shipping.

I have a used but fairly decent DISA that I replaced during preventative maintenance if anyone needs a core towards a GAS unit or wants to upgrade it. Pm me if you're in need!

Third in line?

EDIT: Also willing to give up my old one (which is still good as far as I know) for the next person that wants to rebuild theirs.
