Ordered my Z4M LCAB and a stewart water pump (based on recommendations earlier in this thread) from Turner. Hope to have them all installed by mid January. Then I'll be taking an epic drive up to Clear Lake and back down 101.
Here's a link to my planned route:

Haha, he's always welcome to drive it when I'm home. It's actually fun to ride with him sometimes because he's a bolder driver than I am.Quote:

Picked up the euro bumpers for the e12. I have regained faith in taking a man for his word; not requiring a document to back it up.
Sweet! How does the chrome look?Quote:

Well I had grand plans of doing the tranny fluid, belts, diff fluid, exhaust swap, and coolant flush. The M3 is not the ZHP because as similar as they are things are very different. The M3 fan shroud/heat shroud thing was designed by the devil. I broke the two clips and dremeled/chiseled them out because there was no other way.
I ended up finding my leak from the valve cover gasket so I pretty much just reinstalled and used a little RTV on the back of the VCG in addition to the little bit on the VANOS unit.
Fixed one leak and installed the new SGT muffler I picked up locally for a decent price. I liked the stock exhaust because it doesn't drone, is quiet to allow engine noise and some rasp to bleed into the cabin at WOT. I really just wanted a touch louder to compete with the engine noise. The SGT muffler offers a lot louder like the TSE3, but has some drone while shifting in low RPMs. I actually like the rasp (2 stroke dirt bike rasp) sound it produces when running through the RPMs, but the lower range is like listening to Snoop Dogg in a decked out car with 2x12 and doesn't sit well with my ears. I'm hoping it'll break in a little or maybe I'll get used to it...time will tell.
Once I figure out if I fixed the leak I'll hit up the tranny fluid and diff fluid. I also took two videos of the OEM exhaust and the SGT exhaust to share what I'm talking about.
@ Sean....sorry to hear you running into some issues while doing maintenance.
Today I fully sorted out my CSL center console by adding my door mirror switch :)

It was a PITA as I was primarily concerned not gouging the carbon fiber around the hole I had to cut out....

A thick coat of trusty masking tape and use of my Dremel did the job :thumbsup
