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

[JupiterBMW]

I bought a set of mint hyper-black VMR CSLs with new Hankook V12s.

Side and specs?! And what the hell man, you can't post teasers like that with no pics!

They aren't going on my car yet. My Mom has an E90 that had 19' VMR CSLs, but she got a flat last week so we picked up this set which is pretty much new. We're going to run them on the E90 temporarily until we find a good set of OEM wheels locally for the E90. As soon as that happens, they'll be put on my car. I'm hoping to have them on my car ASAP. It's going to look awesome, I must say.

Specs:
VMR VB3 (CSL) - Hyper Black
235/40/18
255/35/18
Hankook V12 tires

My old ZHP, which had the same CSL wheel specs...why did I ever sell this?


I'm taking them tomorrow AM to be balanced. The 18 inch E46 fitment VMRs don't look too hot on the E90, hah.

Ahhhh, dude.... That EXACT pic was one of the first ZHP pics that made me when I joined this site. I remember that pic, and I think I PMed you way back then... Yeah, sick sick sick look... You're well on your way to that look again, but seriously, never should've sold that one!

[MiniD]

Thanks dude. Yeah, I should have never ever sold it. The alcantara interior was perfect. Oh well. Like you said, in a few weeks, my car will look just as good!

Just put my CSL's back on today. No pics because the car is filthy. I'll have to give it a good bath tuesday night after it gets back from the shop. Finally got my fourth and final tire from Fedex. Mount/balance/alignment =

275's should look mean on the rear...

cleaned the wheels and gave the car a wash. also had to hand scrape off a bunch of tiny little tar bits that accumulated along both sides of the body. where the F do those things come from? my tires or the highway?

tomorrow i plan to detail the interior.

[JupiterBMW]

I suppose I should've mentioned, I gave the car a bath yesterday, she needed it. Plans for one more extensive detail before I leave...

Drove it!

First time since getting off of work at 8am on Friday. She frustrates me sometimes, but damn I love her! Nothing like blasting down the interstate (very light traffic, nothing crazy) to make all of the stress in your life disappear, if only for a few moments.

Big ECS order says it will ship on the 20th. Fixing my non-working headlight is TOP priority. ZKW lenses going in at the same time (have to disassemble the headlight to replace the ignitor, might as well!). I need to maximize my light output with the tinted windshield, love how it reduces glare and oncoming headlights though.

Back to DAT studies!

My crystalline tint is all in and dry I am loving it. Very clear. I would take pictures but its so clear that it would look just like a normal window

Oddly though, my keyless entry stopped working yesterday. For both keys. Taking someone to the airport this morning the keys still didn't work so I had to use the key itself (gasp!). When I got home I tried to lock the car with the remote and it still didn't work. I went inside to get ready for work then went outside to try it one more time and possibly try the sync/reset procedure I found via google. NOW, both remotes work fine without doing anything other than pressing the lock button. All buttons responded after that. Odd, huh?

Restored the black trim on the ZHP. No good pictures as she's back in the parking garage now.
