Had the dealership install new control arm bushings at their cost, free to me. Sold the car with bad bushings, Thats a safety no no. After about two seconds of back and forth they caved and got it done.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46f member
Washed the 1 M in prep for upcoming detail session. Going to try out a new wax for kicks and grins to see if I like it. I've been using Collinite family of waxes what seems forever, but have a wild hair up a southern hemispherical region to try something different. For some odd reason the color attracted my interest. It's touted as a wax for warmer colored cars.
If it doesn't workout, maybe I can use the remainder as a substitute for marmalade.
