Ok, unlike Dane, I don't even post garage shots... I get shit for never posting any pics, so tonight, I said the heck with it! Yes, they're garage shots, but Dane did it and so am I... :biggrin

Here's a few shots from this evening. I tried to pull the fenders a bit more and fit the 10mm spacers on. Needless to say, its not happening. My wheel size is 18x8.5" ET35... So, my wheel with a 10mm spacer is equivalent to a 25mm spacer on an OEM rear wheel... The pics show my test fitting to find the rubbing... I pressed the wheel up tight with my jack to see where my issue was.

Anyway, like I said, its not happening. But damn would it look sick if it did.

Kyalami was a Z3 M color, it is now only available through Individual (as seen by that E93). The only oranges available at the time for the /02 were Inka and Colorado

Well, after hours getting her prepped for the weekend, I thought I'd post a few pics... I took some before and after shots of the ZHP when I detailed it. This is a full compound polish and then a final coat of wax. I probably didn't need the polish, but I did see some fine scratches in the sun, so I wanted to mitigate them as much as possible. Of course, what does this all prove??? It does not matter HOW much you wax an alpine white vehicle... It never changes!!! :facepalm

What's new with Justin's ZHP?

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

[danewilson77]

Absolutely nothing.

- He needs a Coby Wheel wrap, with red time stripe.
- He wants to powder coat his rims black.
- He needs two new fog light frames (Both are gone)
- He needs a rear bumper respray.
- It's at 56,835 miles right now, so we're gonna need to hit some key maintenance soon.

Other than that, interior is 10/10. Exterior is 8/10.

It's a damn low mileage 2004 (I have 194,365 on mine :shifty)

[ELCID86]

Wow, incredibly low. I know he's glad to be on break. Has to bit a bit strange going to a new home. ??

Brett, hopefully the shudder didn't register on the Richter Scale. :) If the ZHP had been offered in Le Mans I would have probably got a coupe in LMB, and kept the red lady for the frau. Of course that would have led to having a 2 door, 4 door and Orient blue wagon all in ZHP guise, and meant risk being characterized as a ZHP hoarder/addict. Not that I would have felt guilty. ;)


I had to google what Le Mans blue was.

OMG

No, not in North America, so it would have been a special order with the $2k charge, but that's only if you could have found a client advisor to push the right buttons with BMW NA.

Bottom-line is BMWAG hoses us customers in NA when it comes to available palette colors. :(

Edit: Should have specified that Le Mans blue was an 'M" only color prior to around 2008/2009 when you could get it on standard on both the E9# and E8# variants as well as on certain ///M vehicles

Was the 2er still a part of dealer inventory, or a customer car? If dealer sad to see the front plate holder already drilled into the bumper on the 228. Maybe the customer would want to abstain and rather have a front tow mount option for the plate. Even Valencia orange cannot hide such a heinous inequity. :facepalm

Either way nice touch with the shadow grills. :fistpump

Haha thanks.

I dunno I thought the 2 series is a pretty good looking car in person. I believe this specific 2 series is still dealer inventory as it was lined up next to a lot of very expensive BMWs. I sat in it plenty and it is a very nice car. The seats fit me like a glove. I will own one someday.

My ZHP got lots of attention at this meet though so I am a proud papa. Lots of nice cars there.

Our new 328d was a dealer inventory car and they had already drilled it and slapped on the front plate. And Florida isn't even a 2 plate state!!! Not much I could do as it was already there when we looked at the car, but I see more and more new BMWs this way. Apparently they're installed before the dealer (so I was told)...

Not much I could do other than get a set of color matched bumper plugs, which was ok because I made them eat the cost of them...

Jupe, that was very civilized of you. I probably would have asked them to replace the whole bumper, or find me another model with similar options.

Indiana is also a state with a one plate requirement and its borderline criminal to see the bumper defaced unnecessarily.

The upside of buying a special ordered car is you can tell the CA to not mount the bracket. I can't say I would have walked from the twice pre-owned 1er M if it had the front bracket mounted, so I was fortunate that both states this car was tagged in (Georgia & South Carolina) don't require a front plate so I didn't have to make that decision.

VW made a real bonehead mistake with the first arrivals of the MKV R32 in that they drilled the mount into the front bumper shield at the VPC upon entry into NA instead of allowing the dealership to affix it if the customer so requested. To their credit they fessed up to their mistake and allowed owners to order a new shield to be replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, even though it was a limited production run of 5,000 there were apparently enough of us who took them up on it that it required almost one year to get the new bumper in stock for it to be replaced.

In the end it's not really worth a hill of beans if it's permanently affixed to the bumper unnecessarily so I can understand shrugging it off. Just wish dealers were not so overzealous about mounting the holder to the bumper. It's admittedly small details like this that cause me to return to, or seek another dealer in the future.

I guess I'm a rare car enthusiast who doesn't care about a plate in the front?It has naught to do with being an enthusiast, and is more personal preference. I grew up in CA and never thought twice about having a front plate. Of course, I left before the advent of the interwebz and naively thought every state in the union required it. Just one of the things I've liked and grown accustomed to having lived in IN for the past 20 years.

Picked up my ZHP in Munich and I had no choice as it came with the front mount. But it was easily reversed using the center insert sans plate holder. One of the nice things about the E46 in that it's reversible should you or a future owner decide to go without.

Just that drilling unnecessarily into a bumper can arguably be considered as a mod too far by some, enthusiast or not. :)

Would a 5mm fit ?

Btw do install the clutch line.

I'm sure the 5s would fit, need to get my hands on a set...

What ET are your rears?

[Vas]

Take both of your spacers and put them on top to make 6mm? Just to see if it's worth it. Just a suggestion

Vas- Never thought of that! Great idea!

My rears (and fronts... square setup) are 18x8.5" ET35... :)

3's aren't even worth your time.

Agreed, but it was worth trying them, and I'll double them up on one side and see how it is...
