What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[pedro2u]

I just ordered a replacement for my 9 year old battery. PepBoys (I have no affiliation with them) has a promo code for the Bosch Platinum Series AGM Battery Size H7/L4/94R 838845 $219.99 with $77 off promo code =$142.99, then a $30 mail in rebate.

Here's the link. It shows both lead and AGM's with a promo:

So net cost is $112.99! Seemed to good to pass up

I'm thankful for a lot this year. Including that this wasn't any worse than it was.

what happened?

Tell me about it. That's the sound my heart made when I saw it yesterday. The only thing I can think is that someone was making a 3 pt turn on thanksgiving and backed up a bit too far. In fact I can feel a slight shimmy in the wheel under breaking. Going to try and get an alignment tomorrow after outing on my winters.

Can I get some feedback from members on this? I found a few OG fenders from various e46 3 series sedans through internet parts sites. Prices of them vary from $70-300. What is the overall feeling about picking on up? How off do you think the paint will be?

No doubt that is a screaming deal! Thanks for posting that!!!

oclvframe - it got even better. I posted this on the Deal Thread yesterday:

Got to my local Pep Boys only to have them tell me that their online stock count was wrong and they didn't have it! Hey - I've already got my battery out and it's with me! Grrrrrrrrr.......... I asked them to check other stores, and they found one 20 miles away, so I drove there angrily........

But now the good news. The other Pep Boys had the battery listed at $195.99, not $219, and with 35% off that ($68.60) got me to $127.39! And there's still the $30 mail in rebate, so $97.39 net! You're results might vary!

Just installed it, car turned over twice as fast, so old battery after 9 years clearly on it's last legs!

A couple of things to note:

1. Radio came right back on with presets still set after the 2 hour gap with no battery. So confirming no radio code needed
2. The RED cover over the POS terminal used to snap into 2 holes in the OEM battery. No holes on this battery for it to snap into

6 weeks into owning my ZHP. With all the major purchases done, I got sick of seeing that half empty tool kit from the PO. So today I received the replacement Heyco Pliers, and I went Euro and picked up the warning triangle off eBay. Last missing piece is the screw driver, it shows up Monday. I'll finally feel like I've got a complete car

I just got my car back today from the longest 3.5 month wait ever...at least for me. Subframe is all done, bar is in, skinz are in, painting is done. Today I brought it in for alignment today and then proceeded to put on 110 miles of bliss even though it was totally dumping rain.

Made to be driven............

Funny how that goes, eh? That was one of the first thing I did too!
