The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[slater]

I totally get that. In 48 months, I only put 31k on the X3. My Mazda only had 77k after 7 years. But honestly my fear of using the ZHP for company driving isn't the miles, it's all the rock chips, etc. that would inevitably come from driving up and down the perpetual road construction on I-85. I plan on keeping this thing for a long time, so unnecessary abuse like that is something I'd like to avoid. It's not like this car doesn't get driven, because it definitely does

yeah. the nice thing is - you can take on the acura easily enough, and try it out, and if it doesn't work out, then sell it.

Honda/Acura run forever with little maintenance... I imagine that car is probably in great shape too

Oh yea definitely! The front end of my car is sandblasted from all that driving. I'm on my 3rd set of splitters, second set of fog lights and I need a third set of headlight covers....

Yikes, no clear bra after all that?

Too late for that

Only non-ZHP 330i/330Ci/330Cic automatic cars for the E46 came with a differential with a final ratio of 3.38, correct?

Great, thanks! I had seen that site before.

Are you doing just a straight 3.46 swap or going for an LSD as well?

Have not decided yet.

Alright so this might be a weird question, but do you guys ever have "weird" dreams about your cars? Like I constantly have dreams/nightmares that include situations where I'm trying to come to a stop suddenly and my brakes are just too soft, or I miss stop signs bc I don't brake in time. Again, weird question, but in the past week or so I can't seem to shake these thoughts out of my dreams lol

The "bad dreams" I have about my cars are usually centered around my ice incident. Every once in a while it'll be about someone washing my car with a sponge they picked up off the ground.
