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

Thanks Derek!

I'm on the fence about it... :/ $700 is a lot of money

I hear the Highline exhaust does drone a bit.

I did a muffler delete for like a week.. It was cool for like the first two days. After that, I was ready to go back to my super quiet Dinan exhaust. Which is what I did on the 7th day.

IMO. Just try a muffler delete, and see if you can handle the drone of your car or not. It only takes like 25 minutes to remove the rear muffler..

I put my summers on and replaced my warped front rotors with new Zimmerman drilled. I was in a jam since I was going to just get my warped rotors machined but to my new knowledge the machine can't machine a slotted rotor. Only blanks and parallel drilled rotors. One side was 3 thousandths of an inch off but the other side was 6 thousandths of an inch off. One hair follicle is 3 so our cars are very sensitive to even the slightest "offness". SO far so good with the Zimmy's. I got them at $120/piece...is that a decent deal for getting something within 2 hours?

In that case, :thumbsup

Yeah, but the X3 is my wife's car, so it can look wimpy... And I'll still race you!

Ahhh I forgot, some people have to have 2 sets of wheels... Down in Florida, my winter wheels are my summer wheels are my winter wheels... :biggrin

Ry - you're only seeing a small portion of it, that entire wall is covered, I glanced over it this past weekend, Stuart's collection is very impressive. Drool output was extensive for many reasons -- those die casts, new 22" wheels & coilovers for his M plus bbk for e46 and new led headlights for his M too -- all in the same one room! I never made it past that room, and his garage -- one whole large & wide drawer of his tool box full of BBS center caps, valve stem covers, lug nuts (red, blue, black), multiples of everything, actually some of the BBS stuff spilled over into a second drawer -- the drool luckily doesn't show up on the padded garage floor. He said there was another room in the house with bakers racks full of e46 parts, we never made it there cause I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven. We got diverted when my son asked for a ride in Wagone, Preston will have to tell you about that in his own words...
