What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

thanks Meric

Didn't want to open a topic while i was looking around the bmw's website i saw this picture: ZHP or maybe M-Tec II

Not a ZHP if it has German plates, but it does have M-Tech, 135s and shadowline trim!

I now have the ///M oil cap installed. Saw JP's project thread and loved this...had to get my own, thanks JP !

Nice! Yeah, I just didn't like the look of "BMW recommends Castrol"; besides the round cap just feels better in your hand than the square one

EDIT: just noticed yours is not exactly the same as mine. Mine has a ///M where you have the oil can and doesn't say the Castrol stuff on the bezel. I didn't know that one existed but I do like!

Yeah JP, ordered the part under my ///M3 VIN at the dealership and this is what you now get. Not going to swap oil caps between the ///M and ZHP though... Still looks great and I agree....feels so much better when opening the cap over the square one.

And yes, that's what happens when the PO jacks the car up using the subframe brace.

Do you have the PN readily available? When I was doing the ET I noticed I was missing this piece as well.

Mine doesn't have that cover. No place for it either. So can you reach it from under the car, without jacking it up, to remove it for lifting the front end?

No place to lift the front end from up there. Have to do it from the jack points or frame rails on the sides.

Would be damn convenient if you could.

I've thought about doing it with this car since the PO already bent it all up.

Hmmm...So why does my 328 have a central jack point at the front of the car around the Oil Drain Plug, and the M54 cars don't?? Curiously strange.
