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

Stu,

Please continue to update us on your quality unparalleled builds.

It will give those of us who appreciate your work to admire your updates.

It will give those of us jealous (if there truly are jealous members) to develope and mature in leaving this behavior at the door.

You're only allowed to post updates if the X5 comes to the reunion next year... :shifty

:biggrin Love the updates Stu (even though the picture you posted won't load for me), keep posting them...

Do you think its impossible to think there will be this type of mod for our old e46's in the future? I was just examining the picture Stu posted and it doesn't look too far off from the size (and shape) of our projectors. I think someone could make a killing being the first to offer a retrofit kit for ours (and other) BMW's. Now that I've pulled mine completely apart to replace an ignitor (and swapped to ZKW lenses while I was in there) I would give it a go if the kit was quality and looked right (OEM'ish, not obviously aftermarket).

Stayed up till 12 am washing my zhp. It's a good way to cool off when you are upset.

Well, Hope everything works itself out my friend.

These past few days, I've had to drive the ///M the 60 miles round trip to work. The bugs on my bumper and windshield are crazy. I think tomorrow it deserves a good hand wash and a thorough vacuuming. Hopefully they'll come off fairly easily, I just applied another coat of Wolfgang's Ultimate Sealant about a week ago.

Replaced my completely broken dead pedal with Charlie's help. Also attempted to swap out my armrest that Stuart was so kind to give to me at the Reunion, but found that the rear bolt for it is somehow stuck inside the hole and can't put the new armest back in. So, I guess I have made up my mind prematurely and decided to get an armrest delete because I don't want to deal with crap like this. My hand at this was forced when the retaining section for the hazard light switch broke, so I can no longer mount that either. I will now have to buy a new console as well. :mad

I might change my mind between now and time to order, so we'll see.

I vote for the armrest delete kit.

Forgot to say,
Sorry to say I seriously doubt anybody will bother making a retrofit kit for E46. The car is too old, and remember; the X5 has a newer model that has an available control unit setup for it straight from BMW. Think of all the retrofitting/programming/whatever that would be required to make it work on an older car that doesn't even have adaptive functions (the vast majority at least). It would probably also be prohibitively expensive, and not many would buy it. A killing is definitely not what the vendor would make, that's for sure. :(

I would jump on it in a heartbeat if this was to happen, but I won't be holding my breath.
