The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[stephenkirsh]

So something weird just happened a minute ago, went to a Shell gas station to fill up about a half tank. 93 Octane as usual(no 91 available), but after 30 seconds the meter clicked stopping it at 4 or so gallons? Got back in my car and she's only a little over 3/4 full, the handle for the gas was still depressed so it's not like I clicked it to stop. Any ideas? Gas station fluke or something with my car?

This happened on my 325 M56 ALL the time. It was so annoying. Never had any other issues.

I've never experienced this on my zhp. Yet.

Usually need to pull the nozzle out an inch or so and then it'll flow fine

Just my opinion but I think Silver Grey looks best with the sedan's black trim and RCR tails.

Reminds me of Eli's (mimalmo) car. Where has he been?

Not so sure about this... my 325 had this happen all the time at different pumps. Something somewhere wore out.

It was my dad's car, first owner. He never experienced. By the time the car got to me, it did it a lot. I only had it two years. Never figured out what or why. I always figured it was related to the SULEV system.

For those of you that have gotten their brake lines replaced recently (both front and rear) with stainless steel ones how much labor were you charged by your indy? My mechanic wants to charge me around 4 hours of labor. It seemed a little high so I wanted to check. Thanks!

That is VERY excessive. All the lines (if you know what you're doing) can be done in less than an hour if you're moving quickly. Bleeding is done while you replace them, so that doesn't tack on much time.

I would say they shouldn't be charging you more than 2 hours, but they're probably going by "book time". Ugh.

Thanks BP. I know they are charging me 'book time'

We need to have a US North-East + Canada maintenance day!

[stephenkirsh]

I've never done that before and I'm pretty sure I could do it in 3 hours or less...

4 hrs just to change brake lines seems excesssive, especially when you have access to a lift.
