What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

Aftermarket BMW suppliers supply badges for cars that have parts of that variety. Hamann makes Aerodynamic Body Kits, Wheels, Rear Spoilers, Interior Parts, etc.

No Hamann parts, no Hamman Badge. It's phony.

/discussion. This should be copied and pasted for every 'badge' argument. Even though my problems with just a simple "///M" badge on the trunk bothers me very little when it comes to ZHPs.

Dane, My ride height is higher than yours but lower than JohnMadd's, around 13" up front and 12.8" in rear. Your ride height (in your sig) looks great, but I'm afraid to run it that low. Speed bumps are my new nemesis.

Edit: today I got the car smog-checked (every 2 years in California) and re-registered it (every year). Emissions (sniffer test) came out looking clean! Could have waited a full month but the car has been so good to me lately. And I didn't want to lose the registration letter or forgetting to do it.

Dane is one hell of a navigator being able to drive that low on I64, props.

Ryan,

I would say that most neighbors of BMW enthusiasts know we have a problem...:biggrin
Where I live, I'm known as the "detail guy" and get many stares when local enthusiasts come over to my place...:eeps

Last weekend a good friend of mine, the one who called my ///M "Liquid Mercury", called my ZHP "blood" because of the depth of the paint after my detailing...:biggrin

Charlie, will you take a gander at my "overspray thread" and give me some pointers? I buffed but I'm not happy with the results.

Ryan,

Sent you PM :thumbsup

Yesterday I finished my disaster of an oil change lol. Picked up a new plug at the dealer. Then had a hell of a time getting the oil filter cap off. The guy who did the last oil change didn't use a gasket around the cap and just muscled the cap on super tight.
