Thanks to Shawn (he supplied the mirror motor mounting plates), I was able to help Colin retrofit his ZHP coupe side mirrors into his OEM M3 side mirrors. All in all it was an awesome evening sharing my garage with both Colin and Botond while we rebuilt his side mirrors
I also painted my ZHP’s steering wheel trim Imola this afternoon....
I also gave Botond my spare driver’s door weather seal as his was in very bad shape...

I asked for a quote to replace the starter. They asked if I would like to have the battery and alternator and starter checked and make sure it is indeed the starter for $30 first. Seemed reasonable so I said ok. Probably the person who asked me didn’t know where the starter was. After dropping the car off I get a call saying because of the starter location it’s gonna cost $50 more but they checked the battery and alternator but found no fault. At this point I should’ve said just tell me how much to replace the starter and to not check the starter condition cause it’s quite obvious it’s the starter that’s causing the no crank issue. But me being at work and busy said “ya whatever make sure it’s the starter before you tear apart stuff”. So i guess it cost me an additional $50 not $100.
Now I have an SES light which the generic auto zone code reader shows as p1515 and p0174. I called them up and told them about the SES light and they asked me to bring it back. I’m sure they’ll try and get me to pay again. How I wish I have a garage now so I didn’t have to deal with this crap and do it right myself...
