Today I had some time to pull both headlights out and swap out the reflector bowls for a set of clemsone46 refurbished bowls.
I probably spent more time reading incomplete "DIY" threads than the actual process took.
One thing I will note - if your car has the headlight washers, do yourself a favor and stand off to the side when you pull them off. Otherwise you get a full crotch/chest full of washer fluid. ;)
A few photos of the condition of my reflector bowls vs. clemson's bowls, the old faded outer headlight covers vs. the new OE ones.
Looking forward to driving at night without the need to run with my foglights on to be able to see!

One thing I will caution individuals of when you go in to do this - pay close attention to the wire sheathing for the high beam shield actuator.
My car spent it's entire life in Virginia until last year. The wire sheathing for the high beam actuator was brittle and flaking off the wires. If left unattended, it was close to a possible short when I went to actuate the high beams. Some proper heat shrink tubing resolved the issue.

Next up - Z4M CAB's which are rolling around in my trunk waiting for the next oil service...
Oh, also bought a Thule roof rack - needed a way to get a surf board the whopping 1 mile down to the beach for my new hobby!
(taken a week or so ago, before the headlights, and the day before the roof rack arrived) 2 trips with the foam blocks was enough - no need to ruin the roof with scratches!

Today I completed phase two of the PDC retrofit, which involved removing some interior bits so I could run the wiring harness from the control module to the glove box area.

Washed sketchi
Removed my ECIS intake and installed my BMW Performance one as well as my OEM M3 strut bar.
I also detailed my car for a total of about 7.5 hours over the last two days for a local show that is tomorrow.

Looks Sweet! [emoji106]
I worked on both my ZHP and M3 today, specifically on their Intravee II setup. I found the menu in my Intravee where I can manually change my one-touch blink from 2 blinks all the way up to 11 blinks. Not that I would use 11 blinks but I now have that option (without having to code my LCM) to change the amount of blinks I get when I lightly touch my turn signal stalk... :)
For those of you who have Intravee this is how you do it: :thumbsup
You start out from the Setup menu then you go into Extras...

Once you get into Blink Count rotate the lower right rotary knob to change the amount of blink you desire. - Off, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, and 11(shown)

I currently have both my ZHP and M3 set to one-touch "hex" blink :drevil
