The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[nextelbuddy]

What's a good price for a used but in good condition M3 gauge cluster? I'm seriously considering going that route.

If you get the matching LCM for the cluster then You won't have a tamper dot next to mileage. I have an older cluster in my car 2001 m3 cluster and it works just had to run a separate wire from the LCM to the cluster plug to make sure it back lit correctly with the parking lights.

I'll have a parts car soon 2003 m3 with a cluster that has 136k miles. Probably sell it for $150 or $200 with the matching LCM.
Of you have someone selling both for 160 then that's a good deal and you should consider it.

My Miata is 21 years old with 177k on it, and most of the plastic and rubber parts are in better condition than the ZHP. Both cars are CA-only cars.

It's just really frustrating when so many rubber plastic parts fail on these cars. I mean... it's the friggen headlight rubber trim; just use something that'll last a long time!!!

Are these the only 2 parts I need to replace the fuel pump?

You will need a new hose clamp since the factory one is a one time use. A regular small worm clamp will work.

If you're careful enough, it can be re-used in a pinch. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Also, might consider an M3 fuel baffle as well while you're in there. Cheap and easy enough to be put in (I'm told).
