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

^damn, that's a bummer. Glad they were able to get you back on the road.

A friend and I got stranded 75 miles out of Vegas on the way back to socal; expansion tank exploded. He didn't have AAA 100 mile tow, the tow bill back into Vegas to a shop was eye-watering.

Tough experiences. Good stories to share. Better rides and days ahead. And I think I'll be taking care of that long overdue alternator replacement.

I retrofitted autofold side mirror functionality into my M3 OE side mirrors this weekend. Finished my passenger’s side this morning


Edit: I took my M3 out for a 150 mile cruise with a few local friends of mine. It was a nice day and turned out to be a good cruise. A great day for me to start my 2020 car season.

So I went back to Vegas over the weekend. I was on the way to Canes to get lunch after dropping off my stuffs. I noticed a puff of steam and went straight to a 7-11 gas station in Warm Springs & Buffalo. The ZHP decided to spill its guts....coolant on the lot......It was cold....it was windy. Had to call AAA tow and bring back to home and park in street. No shops open. But I did notice that the pump was cocked.....No. I do not have my tools or anything.

I am thankful that the ZHP held up and did not decide to spill its guts on the road to Vegas (Desert).

Following day, had the ZHP towed again to Southwest Bimmers (they are also members of the BIMRS.org). The shop was fantastic. They were able to accommodate my ZHP and got to work.

After a days work....I have a new Pump, Thermostat, Upper and Lower hose, Sensor. This situation was my bad. When I did the whole coolant system replacement, I left out the pump. Now I guess, the original pump decided to bite off my ass......at 154K miles.

So that's my story. Now, I'm back in San Diego.

Painful! But, glad the resolution wasn't so bad.

@DeathTrap looking forward to it. Love an opened car front. @cakM3 love it.

Photos from my dimly lit garage don't do justice to the coat of Jetseal on the headlights. I followed the Chemicals Video. https://youtu.be/tSm8C3I6_w4. Wetsand 400 grit, 2500 grit, 3000 grit and v36 polish. Very happy with the results but the Jetseal took the shine to another level.

Installed the shadow line trim that Pizzaman found for me in SC. Still need to install the quarter window pillars but I have no idea how to remove them.

Hell yeah brother

Pillars look fine to me. They black!

Third radio. Everything tests as working fine ... like the second one, until it ate my Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble CD.

Godspeed Stevie.

Bummer about your damaged CDs. But hey ... that's cool you have red trim on your IR sedan.
