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

as long as the s/w version is 4.0 or 4.5 you can enable one-touch triple blink. Keep that in mind...

s/w 4.5 LCMs were the most up to date s/w you can use for E46's....

Thanks. I sure wish ebay listers would state the software version in the title of their ad. Makes finding one with the right software version quite time consuming. Whats the trick about the tamper dot on the dash? Just make sure that if I have Xenon's (I do) that I get one that was made for a car with Xenon's?

I think You have to code the vin and approx miles (km) into the LCM. I need someone to show me how.

And it would be nice if they did list the SW. My bet is that it's not listed, it's most likely not 4.0+

Yes. And my seats didn't explode!

Thanks! I guess one could look for clues, low price, specific e46 years, etc to help weed out the crap.

Did your car not have heated seats? Call me crazy but I would love to have heated REAR seats although I bet my car has less than 5,000 miles (of the 124,500) with someone in the back seat other than my dog. She would have enjoyed them though.

Fcabs and steering shaft coupler replaced and engine degreased.

Always surprising how much sharper refreshed Fcabs really make the car feel. Only had time for a short drive, but the AKG Fcabs (89A) feel very similar to stock, no classic poly harshness.

The steering coupler was a real pita to get off the steering rack splines.

Next up, belts and pulleys.

Just spent 20-40 minutes on e46F in their equivalent to this thread, my head hurts. I don't think I'll go back. I like all forms of e46 pron, but wow quality is few and far between.

Happened a while ago but a local company was looking for an E46 coupe to be their guinea pig for a new set of coilovers that they were about to release. My friend knew the guy (manager or some other official position) on FB and tagged me in his post - I was the first to respond and we both thought they'd pick me since I was first and had dabbled with mods except suspension.

As expected, other people chimed in wanting in on the opportunity and as usual of the car scene, the manager ends up choosing a girl's E46. Which wasn't modded at all, looked stock and didn't appear to be an enthusiast. There were also other stock E46s too and their owners replied before the girl too but I've seen this happen too many times with car-related things so it's no coincidence.

Anyways....met another manager who seemed to be higher-up than the last at my work, and he offered to sell them to me for $650 which is about $100 off the retail price. For coilovers that are less than a grand and are about the same price as Koni Yellows, it seems like a good deal since they've been tested on cars at the track (Buttonwillow and Willow Springs) and other forums for the other cars that had them generally had good reviews.
