What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

Thanks guys, I'm not to upset about it, I just want the pain to stop. They said it'll take a bit of time to get my balance back to 100% but other then that it shouldn't be to bad, all those stupid little toes are good for is getting stubbed anyway lol

Ry,

I personnally know the detail manager at the dealership and all his guys know both my cars. They are very careful with my cars....and it comes out scratch-free every time...

... funny thing is that everyone who works at that dealership (sales/service department) all know me and my cars...

There's a guy at our BMW dealer that we all know as well. He has a Carbon Black e90 M3 with a bunch of goodies on it like an ESS Supercharged, Brembo's, 2x ZCP rims (one black set w/ race slicks & one OE finish set with normal Pilot Sport II's), a SuperSprint Exhaust, front lip and probably a bunch of other things that I'm probably missing

Long story short, he's in about 2-3x a month getting shit resprayed. He gets 1 rock chip and has an entire hood or bumper resprayed. He also rips off his lip a lot too.. so that's been re-fit a bunch of times as well. But he always gets the treatment. His car has tons of swirls anyways so I'm not really sure why his treatment is the way it is.

A door jamb, guess I caught it right that my little toe got bent out on it. Feels like shit haha.
Dalton, that's cool that've takes care of the car like that, shame that it's swirled though, mention buffing to him

Just an update guys, so far I got one email from khoalty and for the past three days additional emails have been ignored. Not happy

Ayayay. Today wasn't a good day for the ZHP.

- Wiper motor is going out. It makes a horrible noise and makes the wipers skip terribly at the top and bottom of its travel. Lifting up the wipers, I can hear annoying binding noises at these locations. Bought new (used) linkage + motor + wiper arms + nuts - $98 shipped Easy fix, but something I really think is stupid to spend money on. It shouldn't break in the first place. I'm going to try and fix the old motor + linkage and see if I can make it work properly again, then sell it.

- Had to buy new FCABs since my old ones prematurely failed. Disappointing. I bought Meyle HDs, and oembimmerparts is RMAing my Lemforders and giving me the difference in cost between the two. I just don't think ZHPs should use Lemforder - our setup is too aggressive for such a soft bushing. BMW never should have done a "one size fits all" method with bushings on all of their trim levels (except M3)

- Got the flexible steering coupling, because freaking I wanna get my tight steering back already

- Have to now get another alignment since I will be doing FCABs. But, there's a good groupon deal on alignments in my area. 50% off.

- Should also balance my tires since I'm there and it's cheap



So...hopefully all of this will end up costing me a whole lot less than it seems, assuming I can sell the old linkage after fixing it.

I just purchased a 2012 East Coast Nav DVD from eBay... I'm pretty sure its a burned copy, but the guy has over 150 feedback comments, 100% positive. People have said that its burnt but it does work... We'll see..

Best part.. $40 shipped.

^when I had my jeep I installed factory nav and installed a burned disk, worked fine

A lot of people don't know how to properly wash their cars..
