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

[330i ZHP]

just vacuumed the x5 - installed the BMW all weather mats - NOT IMPRESSED...plastic instead of rubber like Acura all weather mats

and they are slippery

ugh, now to return and get the Weather Tech

Wow that's lame. Mine are rubber.

It all comes down to what you want with your ZHP Peter... If you're planning to keep the car until the wheels fall off then I say spend the money for a proper respray....seems your friend is willing to help out here....a win if you ask me.

I myself tend to keep my cars for an incredibly long time well after the depreciation hits....so I don't care how much money I put into either cars...

charlie, you don't know my history but i am pretty notorious for getting 'bored' after 6-9 months and selling/buying a new car. i did have my S6 for 4 years, but still, it's pretty pathetic. i told myself after buying the imola ZHP that "this" was the car i was going to keep for a long time. and i probably will. but when i am working crazy hours every day and have no time for upkeep... that's when the desire for a 3-year old, 40K-miles space gray-on-saddle brown 328xiT pops into my mind.

I'm totally with you Charlie, if it were me, I'd keep my car for one huge reason. IT'S PAID FOR! All the extra money and time I put into it will help keep it from the wheels falling off. And I also enjoy the wrench time, mainly because it usually involves me upgrading parts

yes, but how much do you spend in monthly maintenance/upgrades? i'd say mine nearly rivals a car payment. at least... for this year, anyway.

It's an overnight stay in the hospital. I'll still be on here. I'll even post pictures

i wish you all the best on your surgery! hopefully it is routine and you have a speedy recovery.

Thanks buddy! It's all in my Dr's hands now, and I'm confident in him.

As for how much I have spent in mods/maintenance, I really don't have an exact figure. It's a fair sized number. Comparable to my cars in the past, but I really don't drive it enough anymore. I think over the past year I've put 3500 miles on the car. Luckily for me, it's my second car.

Some of you may remember my stupid headlight problem from ~3 years ago, well it happened again on the other car. After the PITA process of elimination that is swapping all the parts I had to unplug everything and reset the LCM. Apparently coupes like to somehow get a bad ground in the circuit. Problem solved, I have low beams again

gave the ole girl her first wash since bringing it back from NC. went to the store, re-upped on some detailing supplies, topped the tank off with premium and some gumout for the fuel system.

Possibly same problem in my trunk lights. Still not able to trace out where is the power source or if there is a grounding problem. Would like to know what is the color wire for the trunk lights in the wire bundle connector to test for power.

Lawrence, try unplugging your batter for 10 minutes. Before you put it back together touch the pos and neg cable together. That's how you reset the lcm

Got some snows on the car and some new rims to go with.
