The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[ELCID86]

Ok, I'm puzzled. I have a low tire and after searching the garage to find the tire air attachment (that was right where I left it so I wouldn't forget!) I can't get air into the tire. Tire has about 28lbs in it. I tried a bike tire and it fills fine. The compressor is on and fill line is wide open. I've disconnected and reconnected both ends. Any ideas??

Never mind. It's now working. I didn't change anything other than cutting pressure to the line and going to do some yard work... weird. Maybe it was the honey do list...

Hey guys so my rear brake pads are pretty low, like 3mm, but the fronts still have 10mm. So I want to go about replacing the rears but I'm wondering if I should go with the same that I did before? They're like hawk racing street pads that are loud as hell and have a ton of dust, so my question is if it would be reasonable to put Akebono on the back? Penny for your thought

Why not? Except for the fact that they don't have very good initial bite, minimal dust is nice, and the front brakes do most of the braking. Here are 2 threads from the Maintenance section searching using "brake pads":

Sometimes the tire valves are finicky.

Alright that's good to hear, got a new clutch with an entirely new feel so may as well switch the brakes up too

Or sometimes operator error is an after affect of beer consumption which is a natural reaction to yard work. Come on Shawn, fess up?!?!

Anyone have a vert rear view mirror in a coupe/sedan? The vert has the central locking antenna in the mirror, and I don't cook my new Z4 mirror. Basically: do I need to move pins around?

I've searched to no avail. If it makes any difference, my E9x homelink/compass mirror was 100% plug and play.

What brand thermostat do you guys use? I think I have Wahler in my sister's car, but I can't remember what I have in mine and I'm planning to help my dad with his cooling system refresh in June.
