The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[BMWCurves]

I changed them, but I'm not sure there was anything wrong with them, though. I ordered some Continental OEM hose from Pelican and it had the BMW print. But like t.er said, any fuel rated hose should suffice. Size is 8x13. 1 foot is more than enough for the 3 segments. I'd send you some, but I think shipping to PDX would exceed price of getting some fuel hose from NAPA or Oreillys locally.

Photos of the Conti hose in my project thread (here).

Edit: This is what I bought, link

Awesome possum, my dude. Appreciate it!

Anyone know what these plastic washers may be? The number on the bag isn't returning anything, but it looks like I bought 6 of them for something. Thumb for scale.

I found it on a Ukraine BMW site, there's a 3 missing from the end of your part number. Try 51718212163. Looks like it goes on the engine plastic pan X 6

Ah that's it! Probably would have figured it out on my own if I had found the bag of 6 splash shield screws at the same time lol

Thanks guys!

I actually replaced all the missing hardware on my belly pan in May, and bought 7 of these (the oil drain access cover uses it too)

So I think it's time to finally get a new front bumper. After plastic welding the bracket and getting it as flush as i possibly could, my brother trashed it again by pulling too far forward in a parking stall.

Question: does anyone know where i can get just the MTech II bumper cover for a coupe and none of the associated mesh, foglights, or foglight trim?

Like this, but for a coupe. And not genuine BMW lol.

Anyone know where to buy some decent carbon fiber engine covers?

Has anyone done rear wheel bearings? There is an OEM installation kit on eBay for $150. I would rather buy a more universal tool, but if this would make life easier I can roll with it. I guess I could rent it out as well.

What would the mafia do? OEM tool or Harbor freight kit?

I did it earlier this year. It is not fun.

I needed:
Axle remover - driver side only
Standard universal bearing press to remove and press the bearing and spindle
Race puller to remove the inner race from the spindle

I bought the axle puller from ecs and borrowed the other two from autozone.

Have you considered hydrographics/water transfer printing? https://www.lipcollision.com/services/hydrographics/
