What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

Sorry about the delay, guys. The fitment is perfect. Since the ends are separate from the bar in the middle, it actually allows for a decent amount of adjustment before you tighten it down.

bought these LM's https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...03723859_n.jpg

Those are gonna loop dhope.

I noticed the same thinng when I installed the BSWs. I was able to adjust it to my liking though.
Also, they'll sound even better once they are broken in...

Basically all the kinks had been worked out, updated etc (There were SIX newer revisions than my 2004 radio). Requires no coding, and is a direct plug and play replacement.

Funny thing Steve, is that I checked with the parts guys here at BMW of Newport and they couldn't find the remanufactured radio under that part number (65126988276). What they found for a replacement BM53 radio for navigation equipped cars had a very high price tag.....like $2,400!
:jawdrop

Naaahhh, if my radio were to fail, I would then be looking for other alternatives such as RealOEM, or Dynavin....there's no way I will shell that much money for an OEM radio....that's crazy :rofl

But if BMW updates your car to latest software, it will overwrite the Shark, and you will have to Shark it again.

Is it just a matter of re installing the software as was done initially or do you need to revert to stock prior to having a shop update the software

Forgot to mention that yesterday I had the valve cover gasket and spark plugs replaced. We also did the Beisan Systems vanos repair kit. Slowly chipping away!

Now, I'm just waiting for my Mtech II bumper to arrive.:rockon

Nice pick up on the bar. I didn't even know Charlie was selling his.

I've been looking for this bar lately but can't find any good deals. If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pick it up for?

Dalton,

I traded Ben my OE M3 strut bar for his BMW Performance cf strut bar + some money......couldn't pass on Ben's offer and I really wanted to have the Performance strut bar for my ///M :)

Wasn't initially planning to sell my OE M3 strut bar until I saw Ben's for sale thread....now I will have two BMWs that have this rare strut bar...;)

I've usually seen them go for about $200, which is essentially what I paid for this one. Have you been keeping an eye out on Ebay and E46fanatics?
