What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

[Hornung418]

Yesterday I had my indie drain and flush the transmission fluid. Went from Royal Purple Synchromax to Redline MTL. Had 15,000 miles on the RP fluid and it seemed to be performing fine but shifts didn't feel as smooth as when new... I would say the smoother shifting lasted for about 10,000 miles with the RP. With the new MTL, it feels very similar to the old RP fluid, perhaps just a touch smoother. Sent fluid sample to Blackstone Labs.

When I first asked him to do it a few weeks ago, he said that it would be overdoing the maintenance to replace the tranny fluid with only 15,000 miles, but I insisted, partly because I had already bought the fluid and a proper BMW flat/hollow drain plug to replace the generic/solid drain plug I put in 2 years ago.

Two weeks ago paid off the ZHP loan. At the time my credit union only offered low rates on used cars MY 2004 or newer, so I got a 3-year signature loan from LendingClub.com. Paid it off after 2 years and 3 months. Hopefully won't need to get another car loan for a few years.

Very interested in the RP Lab Results. And congrats to paying off the car!!

My main motivation for removal of the arm rest is because my friend sat on it when he had to crawl through the Drivers side. Any bump in the road results in a squeak that will drive any man, no matter how tough, insane.

Mine did that when I bought the car. First thing I did was order a new one:

51168213628 ARMREST LEATHER SCHWATRZ

If I do decide to replace it, I'm going to get the Grau Nappaleder.

You can buy a higher quality leather one from the dealer? Or just color of the leather

[Hornung418]

You can get some really high quality leather from the Dealer. Nappa Leather and Montana Leather are some really comfy leathers.

I want! I think I am going to have to ask the dealer for help though. I dont think I make sense of all this on what would be a upgrade from my current black leather armrest:
