The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

No need? I think the large quantities of money to be saved say otherwise. You get zero benefit going new with this part.

I got my full set used for $160. If new was my only option, I'd still be on matte trim to this day...

Facebook marketplace a few years ago. I've gotten quite a few good deals on there and Craigslist, but you need a lot of patience (sometimes I hunt for parts for months).

You've got to look for partouts. I know a guy who has parted several ZHPs; I'll ask him if he has those trims.

Going to drive across country next month and am planning on getting a TPMS set up with the head unit. Anyone know if intenal TPMS sensors are compatible with Style 135 wheels? Otherwise, I'll go the external route. Getting new tires installed a week before the trip too.

Update 12-14-2020: I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4's installed at Costco and they installed the internal TPMS sensors without any issues on the stock Style 135's. The Head unit is also reading them fine! The guy at the front desk complimented the car, then the guy moving tires did the same as I was making my way back, then the mechanic who handed me the paperwork said he only can wish his 2020 looks like mine when it gets to that age. They also did not charge me for the TPMS installation even though there's a service for it, even after I insisted. Thank you Costco Tire Center, appreciate the service.

Has anyone had clutch judder before having to replace it? Mine is original at ~226k miles, lately it's been juddering quite badly when engaging it from a stop and only when cold. After ~5-10 mins of driving, it disappears. I was thinking if somehow the RMS seeps overnight, but also with the car warm the oil is thinner and the leak would be worse.

I get clutch shudder when it’s cold and my revs are low, but that’s because I’m SMF

I've had clutch judder since I got the car at 110k miles and I'm at 183k now. Clutch still works, but the judder only appeared if I engaged the clutch "wrong" to begin with from standstill, never while driving (hard to pinpoint what wrong is but too slow is probably the closest explanation). Sounds like it judders while you drive too?

wow, 226k on original clutch? maybe it's simply time for a new one.
