Auto EuroTec. They've got a great business and see a lot of BMWs. Brian, who worked on my 328i when I had trouble diagnosing my coolant loss two winters ago, will be dealing with the ZHP again :)

Car is almost ready. Has my slightly used Stewart WP, a new Thermostat, new Pullies, new rad and condenser. The bent core support was able to be pulled back into proper shape and they sourced a new Fan shroud from the dealer. The hoses and ET were recently changed by PO.
Front brake rotors and new control arms have been installed with new bushings...much to my dismay.
The umnitza bumper had been painted and is awaiting the fogs and the plastics. As well as a new splash shield and fender liners and brake ducts.
The passenger fender has been pulled and painted and for $100 they are overlaying the old and faded paint pinstripes with new silver vinyl stripes.
The old bumper made it to the trash and I will have some new fenders for sale as well as random other things off od the 328i.
Stay tuned for the finished product!

More the reason to hurry up. Storage comes at a premium doesnt it!?
Storage doesn't get charged as long as they're actively working on the car.Quote:

So today I was tasked with getting the 328i ready for sale.
It seems to be suffering from Toyota syndrome. Seriously...the throttle body sticks open for a little bit and if you floor it it will stay open until you shift into neutral.
Car is being sold with my hard engine mounts and trans mounts as well as the Poly Fcabs...all from AKG. The biggest regret is not being able to get the pullies off...such a simple performance upgrade I have to purchase all over again.
Car is going to CarMAX tomorrow and being sold for face value.

I've seen some dealers offer to beat Carmax for 500 to 1,000 dollars. All they ask is to see the estimate from Carmax. Is that an option for you ?
Possibly...but my dealer knows my car very well...and everything I did to it lol.

So what I was able to save were the performance grilles (glossy black) OEM, swapped out the custom Bixenon headlights for some stock halogens and got my long tube intake. I just wish I could have more time, but this car needs to be out of my life...its along the lines of sleeping with your ex while you are married to your wife.

No pictures this update but I managed to swap my power pullies to the ZHP. However, in classic Hornung fashion, this job was not without a setback.
Slept in til 10 and decided to play some ACIII before I had to do anything labor intensive. At noon, mom suggested I should get moving on anything I wanted to do to the 328 before we sell it on Tuesday. So I decided to tackle the pullies. For $200, you're damn right I'm keeping them.
Started with the 328i. I got everything out of the way in a few minutes and the pullies loosened. Pull the belt off and take the bolts off the pullies. The power steering pump always gives a struggle so I spend a good half hour trying to wiggle it off and eventually it frees itself.
Good. Now onto the ZHP. Everything went smoothly. The plastic pullies didn't break and the PS pulley came off without having to lift the car. Put the power pullies on and go to slip the belt on... come to find out that the tensioner doesn't have enough travel to slip the belt back on. I check with the 328i and it has full travel. Try again on the ZHP... no dice. It's sized.
Great. So I pull the unit and take it to the basement to take it apart. Comes apart and I couldn't get the spring mechanism apart... I was partially afraid and not strong enough. Go and get the other unit off the 328i and take it apart. The spring explodes out of the unit. "Oh fuck... What did I do?"
Start trying to press it together and it takes me a while and the assistance of my saint of a mother to get the clean base and the working spring unit back together. Bolt that shit down and get everything torqued down and give a test fire. She runs great! Job done.
Celebrating with a Chimay Blue. I still have to put the 328i back together but that is for tomorrow. CSLs are going to the storage unit tomorrow, and will hibernate til spring.
Hornung signing off.
