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

Haha, yeah they're only numbers that dictate the sale price of the car no worries.

Okay, I can't argue that. Mileage def reflects the price on a car. As long as you aren't going to sell the car anytime soon you will be okay. You are just getting your money's worth out of the car by driving it more IMO.

I want this car back together before I go to bed!

^wow. The M62 is pretty similar to an S62.

Are you doing a M60 manifold swap on that car?

Worked on the passenger mirror motor last night. The ribbon cable tore which explains why the motor doesn't work on the passenger only. I ordered a driver side motor on accident so I was left to try some repairing. I reconnected the ribbon cable with solder and wrapped it with e tape. That solve the that for now and I can return the driver mirror motor.

Going to order a new mirror cap since the tabs broke off. I was thinking of drilling holes and zip ties through the mirror holes. It is probably sturdier than the tabs.

Afe intakes are the same when oiled. Most here have dry filters or have switched to dry filters. Easier to maintain and no MAF issues.

Be careful the coolant rails that mate to the waterpump and run on top of the valley pan dont get knocked off in the back of the block.

yup - along with valley pan gasket, new OSV + seal, cleaned the hell out of the throttle body + new seal, lots of new vacuum lines, and full coolant system to round out the job.

Kept mine safely parked in the garage today since we are supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow.... And it was in the 80's yesterday

And my "significant other" kept telling me Kansas City was "the Tropics" when she wanted me to move down here. Well, I'm here now, and I've never seen ugly wet nasty snow like this in the Tropics.

Just saying
