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

I thought it was burned by the looks of it, but I could be wrong. How would water get into one spark plug hole like that? Or just moisture somehow?

If the engine cover is left off water can get in during rains and what not. Not super common of course, but I've seen it.

Interesting. Not sure how it could happen. It has always had the engine cover on. Oh well. No big worries. New ignition coils and spark plugs are in as are new valve cover gaskets.

Hope I didn?t screw things up too badly.

I changed out my driver's airbag because the airbag cover was damaged and upgraded to my titanium paddle shifters today. The car's interior looks much cleaner now.

Here is the before and after view:

The new look (bottom pic) looks much cleaner as compared to the old look above. There is more in store for my JCW Mini . . .

I had gotten lazy, was thinking the car was just getting tired, No codes or anything, just a bit sluggish, particularly noticeable when cold...

THis afternoon I replaced coils/plugs, cleaned the MAF and did the cabin filter while I had things apart up there.

Damn, I should never have doubted the ZHP... Back to buttery smooth, like new power delivery (at 176,000 miles.) I'm in love again.

New coils made a significant difference to how the car revs and definitely increased the torque output as well, on mine..
