The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Alright well hopefully that's the last time I have to scare myself looking at replacement blocks for a long time, guy just approached me and told me that they couldn't find any issues, oil came out clean...
So I'm happy, still don't understand how all of that smoke could have been condensation, but it may have been a bad reaction from the off-brand oil.. i don't know. Like I said, I'm happy, it's a sigh of relief. Can't wait to drive her with fresh oil

That's an interesting outcome. Yeah- do please let us know if you learn more.

How is the quality of Rein power steering hoses?

Has anyone retro'd heated seats? I mean actually retrofitting the coils and baffles into non-heated seats? An inexpensive complete Imola interior just popped about 2 hours away. Manual, non-heated.

I have them in my car - got them installed last summer and so far so good.

Good fit and quality? Looking to overhaul the old hoses and they are much cheaper then the OE BMW hoses

Yup, looked as good as OE to me. Changed up all 4 hoses last year along with the reservoir. I too went with Rein since the price difference was significant.

M3 seats or standard sport seats? I don't know hard it would be but I imagine it'd take some work.

They were M3, but I've talked some sense into myself. Cinnamon or bust. I love Natty Brown but I'm not giving up my bolsters.
