I signed up for a BMW drive event in Roseville. I'll be test driving a 435i and competitors car. If anyone in the greater Sacramento area wants to check it out go here: https://www.bmwusa.com/secured/conte...in=bmw02eexown

BMW available to drive are:
428i vert/coupe/gran coupe
435i vert/coupe

Competitor cars:
C350 coupe/sedan, A5/S5 vert/coupe, IS 250C, and CTS coupe.

I was looking forward to doing this in SF, although with an m235

Just go to a BMW dealer and ask to drive one. I did that w/ an F30 320 before I bought my ZHP. (was NOT impressed).

I haven't driven mah ZHP since Wednesday since I've been biking to work. Decided it's time to check the fluids. All good!

Got this trunk mat from BMW for the trunk. Looks great.

Also replaced my cabin air filter cover. 15 bucks from BMW. See how faded the old one is? With this and my new hood insulation it really helps the look of the bay.

Question already: since the car is in the air I decided to put the oil tray cover in. The hole is too big for the screw. was I supposed to buy a washer or something too?

For the oil drain plug cover you need a clip

yes, there is another piece that is sold separately for some reason that the screw goes into. Dane posted it once or twice I believe. GL with the H2O system.

What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Thanks. I'll order it. And thanks for the good lucks. I might post questions later. Haha

Oh and another question: around or about what is the capacity of the cooling system?

Well...all the old coolant is out.

Shawn and I replaced the power steering reservoir, flushed the fluid, checked the DISA (all good) and last but not least..

Removed this bastard:

I don't know what others mean when they say you can't feel a difference...I noticed it immediately. Shifts feel so much better. I feel the connection instead of wondering what is going on down there and having her buck between first and second.
