Look'n good. Interior pictures are the hardest to take.

Right, so says everybody, which is why I'm interested in AKG vs. PowerFlex FCABs.
The PO replaced the FCAs and FCABs between 90,000 and 100K miles. My car has 160,000 miles, so they actually 60-70K miles old. But I don't get any wheel wiggle nor clunking or vibration under braking. I can't move them more than 2mm by hand. My indie pushed on the FCAs with a prybar about 3,000 miles ago and showed me the FCABs moving. He said they're need to be replaced fairly soon, but not right this moment. I would say handling and steering are fine, but since I've never driven an E46/ZHP with fresh FCABs, I don't actually know what it should feel like.
Maybe I can get one of the San Diego fanatics to drive my car at an AutoX and tell me if the steering feels vague. The instructors who've driven the car never said anything about steering precision but they don't push it that hard when they're driving.
Carpet wash.. Leather cleaned and conditioned. I asked my friend to take off his shoes.. :| (No regrets)
Steve (prowlerflyer) and I got our Performance strut bar installed :)

Yeah, those look great!
Nice job Charlie, cant wait for mine to arrive this week.
Yesterday I helped Tom install some
BMW Performance rotors on the fronts, I had to leave so we didn't get to the rears but he said it feels much better. Maybe he'll login and post a pic
Thanks everyone :) Pics of the BMW Performance CF Strut Bar looked awesome but to see this up close and personal.....:drool
I was very lucky to get this one, thanks to Steve. He did the footwork to contact the seller and let them know about me and that I was seriously interested in purchasing the remaining strut bar. There was a PM on E46F from another forum member expressing his interest but the seller responded to my PM and told me that he would sell his remaining strut bar to me. I jumped on this and made the drive to the Danbury, CT area (about 2 hours drive from me) to pick this up personally. Even with all the unfortunate events on my return trip, it was still well worth grabbing this strut bar to me.
On another note, looks like I will be sourcing a brand new Style 135 rim to replace my damaged rear wheel, then I will have to wait another pay period to buy a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports to set up the ZHP again.....In the end the ZHP will be set up nicely and will show the love I put into her...:)
JP, wait till you get yours....you will love it! I know it will look awesome in your Coupe :)
Replaced the expansion tank and hoses

I'm really tempted to sell my 135s cuz they need to be HEAVILY cleaned if not repainted. I want some vb3s really bad and money is tight but I think I'd regret getting rid of them... Especially for winter.
