What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

I don't remember seeing that when I took mine off last year

Sigh, my outside air temperature failed. Car thinks it's -40° outside, so it won't turn the AC on. The sensor is still there, so it must have just failed for some reason. Hopefully the wiring isnt somehow messed up.

Anyone in maryland or NoVA have one that I can buy? I really would rather not buy from Tischer if I don't have to...

Wash and Wax. She looks good, just wish I could afford to have all those rock chips removed. Way too many to count (results of commuting over 100mi a day for a few years).

A quick search only yielded a 'windshield washer temperature sensor' but I can't seem to fathom why it's just a sensor that goes in the bottom of the bumper?

That is the heated nozzle washer temp sensor.

It ensures fluid in the nozzle don't freeze. Look in vehicle electrical systems down in the wiper sections. You'll see it.

Well the day is finally done. Got a lot done today, so I'm happy. I got my Frankenstein headlight all finished up, took her out tonight and aimed them... So nice to have Good light output! Also got under the car to locate a mysterious rattle, fearing it might be the DISA... It was a bracket going from the underside of the tranny and clamping around the two exhaust pipes. It was all rusted out, so I pulled it and ordered a new one.

Also got her cleaned up and then a quickie detail in preparation for my first BMW get together tomorrow.

It's been a long day, but a good one. :)

Finally secured my Driver Side Ballast in style.

Had to do some surgery. Cut and splice an extra 12 inches of copper wire for each of the three wires in the two black sheaths. Wrap in electrical tape to clean it up there you go...M3 Ballast relocation for non-M e46s.

hmm, why did you do all of that? Did the lights not fit otherwise?

Ballast was interfering with the Long Tube Intake.

From my dealer, total cost was $23.XX. Plus the 90' pack of 22 gauge copper wire was $7.41. Easy mod/improvement.
