What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

I'm glad I didn't paint my high beam bowls, starting to dislike my yellow fogs, I think a hid retrofit is on the way soon, damn you Dalton and your beautiful headlight fog setup

I had to cannibalize from my ///M a turn signal bulb to swap into my ZHP this evening. Since I'm using white bulbs I will have to get another from the dealer tomorrow... One nice thing about having two BMWs....with the garage queen sitting proper inside the garage, I can grab a bulb when I need and swap into my daily driver....then get a new bulb to put back into the garage queen...

Also ordered a voltage regulator to swap out in the alternator of my ZHP since it is beginning to have issues... planning to do the swap over the next weekend with BP's help...

Went to install my Piaa Super Silicone 22" insert - it's just a smidgen too short. I don't think their dimension is correct at all.

Passenger side fit just fine at 20." Literally just slide it in and go. The wiper insert has built-in notches on one end to keep the blade in, and the actual metal pieces have notches built in to keep them in place. Plus, they fit very snug and I am sure they won't go anywhere.

Do not follow the directions on the box, I do not understand what they're talking about with their little "lock" mechanism they speak of. It does not even fit on the rubber when it is installed. Everything will keep the wiper in-place as-is.

Order at least one size bigger than the manual states to guarantee that they'll fit. It's really strange. I ordered a 24" insert and hopefully can return my other one.

Today I got my new voltage regulator for my ZHP's alternator, a new turn signal bulb, and a new ZKW lens for the passenger's side.

Man do these parts rack up in $$$$

My car is in the shop today getting 2 tires, a premature oil change, and trying to run diagnostics on the comfort access system and DTC. Car won't connect to the BMW software even with manually entering VIN. Now it won't start... ruh-roh!

Awesome fix, but I don't get it. Why doesn't the black cover up the lighter parts of the cube and make it all dark? Also, can you post a close up pic?

The pattern is actually engraved in the aluminum. It's all the exact same color, it's just the light that makes it look lighter and darker in some areas. You could in theory paint it yellow and you'd have yellow cube lol. 'll post a close up tonight once it's dry! I didn't paint the part that's over the LCM as it was flawless so I'll post a comparison shot as well.
