thanks rob! :cheers
washed, waxed and detailed the outside of the imola ZHP on friday night. good timing too... while it was 15C yesterday (roughly 62F), today it snowed and was -3C (roughly 25F). the car is filthy now with slush, salt and dirt. oh well.
7AM saturday. prepped for winter... minus snow tires of course, LOL. rear is sitting a tad low - trunk was full of tools (and a jack) to help a friend with a car repair.
Awesome pics, Peter! Feel free to drop by here with your tools, I will have plenty of stuff waiting for you to work on :)
well, she is a broke single mom and lives 8min from my house. my day was already booked with house stuff but i had to make time at 7AM to get it done!Quote:

the entire drivetrain and suspension will go into the Touring. i will inventory a lot of the misc extra stuff (fasteners, modules, etc) as it will be super handy to have down the road. hoping to sell the shadowline trim, anthracite interior bits, and extra set of M3 seats right away.... i don't need TWO sets of M3 seats, that's just ridiculous. ;)
it's been about 3 years and 2 weeks of happy ownership! onward and upward into ZHP Touring land!
signing off...

I thought you were going to just take the good bits from the sedan and turn it back to stock to sell it, didn't realize you would be parting it out [emoji15]

no, thatQuote:

plus there is a crack in the RACP of the sedan, and i just wouldn't feel comfortable selling it like that.
and... you guys' GIFs are hilarious. love it.
Ya I get that I guess. But just pains me a little so see a good car (with a RACP crack, which can be fixed) to be taken off the road and be taken apart for parts. Must not have been an easy decision.Quote:

sad but parts will go to happy homes and the soul will live on..
now on to the great part out :shifty
black cube trim? :cigar
hahaha... yes, i will have a set available soon. :)Quote:

I wish it was a coupe. I need coupe trim. [emoji23]
haha. which trim? interior or exterior?Quote:

Nah, I was trying to remember what you're transferring over to the MeisterwagenQuote:

I absolutely love this Coby Wheel, but when it's raining and my hands are a little wet I think about your perf'd M3 wheel and go down a bit of a rabbit hole.

i think about getting another coby wheel a lot, but ultimately the half-perf leather M3 wheel is my favorite. i love perforated leather.
The alcantara was pretty great during this brutal North Carolina winter!Quote:

yes, it absolutely will. that is when i'm going to be thinking really hard about sending my spare wheel to coby!Quote:
