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

You don't know my wife... It is her car. Lol

What she doesn't know wont hurt her

Replaced the shadowline trim on the wife's ZHP. I wonder if there is a market for these with 2 broken clips?

Maybe if you still had the clips.

I tried reglue-ing the clips several times, using different kinds of super glue, and nothing really worked long term until I took super glue and superglued every single clip all the way along the trim. Finally, that trim stops creeping forward and hasn't broken loose.

3M double sided tape. Works like a charm.

I can't believe that worked for you. There's no way it would have been enough to keep mine in place.

Replaced the worn AKG FCAB with Z4M. After the test drive I concluded this was indeed the cause of the clunk on braking.

Also reconnected this lil guy but since the arm is broken it will probably come out again. Anyone know what this is called?

Oh and replaced the driver window switch. The button was broken, so nice not to have to fumble with it now

Sorry, I'm new to the ZHP. I see that the Z4M & ZHP bushings are both 66 mm. Is this a bolt-on upgrade - press the bushings into our lollipops? Do you have a part number/vendor source?
Thanks in advance.

Broken part is the auto level arm for the headlights.

I just replaced the whole thing, couldn't be bothered with drilling, cutting and pressing. Got them for $75 each from fcpeuro since they're a mafia affiliate. Part numbers are 311078368621 and 31107836863

Thanks! I've been reading a number of suspension threads & saw the recommendations. Will do this when needed.

Well I drove her today and played in the rain. I got her sideways in a really wide right so I got aggressive with the throttle while just 1/3 opposite lock in the wet! Cornered right at 20mph in 2nd gear, squeezed on throttle just before apex to upset traction then backed off a tad. This followed a tail out resembling a smooth Miley Cyrus twerk. To control her I counter-steered, stayed on the throttle with minor LSD wheel spin and as the car straightened out, kept the rear wheels spinning to come out of an apex with a full chest of newly grown hair.

After doing that I knew I had to treat her like a princess after. Knowing the weather forecast was going to dry out for the week, I decided to clean her in the rain and let the rain help me rinse her dirty self.



After 15 minutes of cleaning the garage floor, the rain cleaned most of the bubbles away!
