My clock spring broke and I'm thinking of just replacing my cluster with another zhp one but seeing this makes me think otherwise. Anybody from the mafia knows how to code to my VIN if I decide to change cluster?

If you figure this out, count me in. I have an SMG cluster that I’d like to use, My biggest gripe is the yellow illumination. I absolutely hate it.

I had a local guy my indy mechanic knows who coded all my stuff.

I've got some polish in the black trim pieces that run around the bumpers and doors. Whats the best way to get rid of that stuff? My bumper was just resprayed and it looks perfect. want the rest of the car to follow suit. TIA

Get a plastic pry tool and just pull it off. Clean it and snap it back in.

Looking for some data from other states on the cost of labor on your beloved cars.
Anybody did an oil pan gasket recently in the shops and can share the cost? Yesterday, I got a quote from my shop. I was surprised that price got 50% increase in less than 4 years. The recent quote is $900. I called two other BMW specialized shop and all of them quoted me in $900 range.
I am struggling to understand that labor got ~50% in MA in 4 years.

I had mine done in 2019 for 600. That's an insane price spike.

Exactly. That was my quote at the end of 2017 from BMW specialized shops, including Turner Motorsport.

Dude 900 bucks is downright crazy. Just got a quote from my Indie shop out of curiosity. 650 including labor. 900 is just.....wow.
