The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[ZHPizza]

Oh. Was not aware but wonder why? They have it for the E30

Maybe there was some legal ramifications with it's use on the street. They still offer a solid aluminum one for track:

Anyone have experience with Precision Autowerks in Raleigh, NC? My buddy's 550i just got a VERY expensive service estimate from the dealer, and he's looking for a good indie to vet the estimate.

I haven't used them but I was actually just at Shade Tree Garage in Raleigh today with my car getting a PPI done for the new owner and that place is really neat. They only work on BMWs and appear to have really good reviews. Maybe your buddy could check their price?

For those of you who have full detail/paint correction, how do you find a place to go and how much do you typically spend? I know that's going to vary widely, but any general info is appreciated.

I haven't bought one but I have used yelp to find detailing places, and then research from there. There was a highly rated place mentioned in some magazine that also happened to be close by, though the prices seem to reflect. If I needed paint correction, that would be the place to go. The other option would be a friend of a friend that does on the side, or getting my lazy ass to try it myself.

Thanks, I'll let him know.

Ok so all of a sudden I'm getting the airbag light on my dash... all recalls are up to date so I have no idea why it's lighting up. Wire disconnection? Idk, anybody else experience this even after airbags were replaced(keep in mind replaced like 3 months ago)?

Mine's been on a while (voltage too high I think?) multimeter says it's okay. My next effort will be to try the occupant sensor bypass trick.

So I have an Anker smart charger thats supposed to output 2A into each of its 2 ports, that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket up front. Although my phone says its being charged, the battery percentage does not increase and may even decrease if i'm navigating and playing music through it. Could it be the socket needs to be replaced or is the charger the question?

This is pretty typical for me and my cheap ass charger. I've always blamed it on Waze being a massive juice consumer. When I drive a company car (direct USB connectivity) it's the same experience.

I'm curious to hear what others say.
