Haha! That is correct!
The X1 (and F30 X5) were awesome at 4 wheel drifting too... Very controllable

[Rovert]

I was being a bit rambunctious today with traction control off. Everything turned into bumpy ice from the rain so the surface was unpredictably slick and grippy from ice/asphalt mix. Over rotated on a back road and ended up facing the other way. [emoji23] And one throttle kicked the back out too hard and sent my rear spinning up too fast and ended up moving sideways too quickly. I eased off to slow sideways movement and just as I went to neutral I tapped the iced curb like Ken Block. Just threw up ice and snow and continued into throttle to straighten out so I didn't pendulum. LOL wish I caught that on GoPro. [emoji51] Accidental precision with no metal contact.

Cleaned steering wheel, shift knob, and handbrake handle with Pristine Clean. Sad that I can't get my steering wheel to look brand new anymore, despite staying on top of it since buying it new. Oh well... still looks great so I can't complain too much.

Looks nice and clean, BP. I see the difference between brand new and now on the steering wheel, but if you handed me your steering wheel wrapped in plastic as if it was brand new, I wouldn't know the difference.

Funny thing is that if you ask BMW, they say the mud flaps are incompatible with the M-Tech II body kit. That's why I stopped pursuing it... Now I'm just confused.

Actually get 25 mpg highway at 75 mph. My last one, a '98 740iL got 30 on the highway at those speeds and regularly went 600 miles on a tank on road trips.

I tend to hit the EPA city estimate on the commute, though. :(

Those are the wheels from the E90 320si, which is the roadgoing version of their race car. Very limited numbers; a quick search reveals 2600 cars were to be built. Sweet wheel - they are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear.

The f@$%ing leaking washer fluid reservoir club?

that's a common site on my Touring lately. it's actually the pump that leaks. F.

[stephenkirsh]

The leaking pump club.

I drained the whole reservoir until the new pump arrives.

[Rovert]

When mine stops pumping to the headlights or just creates a leaky mess I'll just remove all that stuff and tie the tubes. I don't need headlight washers in this climate. If it gets that bad I'll be wiping them at the fuel station!

[stephenkirsh]

It's not headlights. Is the normal windshield one.

I don't have headlight washers.

They're still in my stock housings. One of the housings is completely smashed; the lens shattered off when the fog light fell out and banged against the road. The internals with the X5 innards, however, are fine, so they can still be transplanted if I wanted to. The hard part (modifying the heat sinks) is done, I'd just have to shave some of the inside of the housings to get them to fit the new ones.


+1 want to know. I'm retrofitting ES300/IS300 yellow fog projectors, and I'm curious about how you did it. I'm not looking forward to fabricating another set of brackets.

When we were retrofitting them, the heatsinks had to be cut and the inside of the fog housing has to be enlarged on the inside a bit for it to slide in.
They didn't sit quite horizontal, but it was close. Unfortunately I don't have the pics on my Flickr account; have to dig them up from wherever they are.

fogs look good BP. Why do people put X5 fog housings in?

[704sw]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're LED and have a similar form factor to most newer BMW fog housings. I know TRS had a great deal on them a year or two ago.

[az3579]

fogs look good BP. Why do people put X5 fog housings in?

The housings are technically E46 housings, just with X5 LED internals installed. I did it because I'm a lighting whore... I love LED products. Halogen looks like meh to me and HIDs cause my dash lights to flicker whenever they get turned on (and are more complicated; ballasts). LEDs are the perfect solution. No ballasts, instant on/off, and have a nice high intensity output.

[holyc0w]

That setup looks great.

No ballasts, instant on/off, and have a nice high intensity output.

Yep, HID fogs are a bad idea. The corner light function will murder the ballasts and bulbs, and an over-illuminated foreground has a very negative impact on your ability to see at-distance in the dark. The X5 LEDs have a very wide beam pattern too, do they not?

[johnrando]

Good info, thanks.

[Rovert]

I've never had an issue with my 35 watt HID fogs in the 10 years I've used them in the E46. While they are intense they fill in where the headlights aren't and I've been on many 12 hour night adventures without fatigue. If I'm in a pack, I'm always asked to lead to light up wildlife. Haha

Maybe I have the "perfect" alignment? No one has ever gave me the brights from being annoyed. My old original ballasts have been bulletproof and as they say, they don't make them how they used to. And I've never fried an LCM yet....LOL.

We don't typically get this kind of shafted. One year we got 36" of snow. Our street had to get bulldozed out. It took me all day to shovel out just my car.

facelifted Touring, yep - it's a 2005. soon to be a 330iT ZHP. :cheers

Too bad your so far or You'd have a guaranteed buyer [emoji1360], thats a fantastic plan! Make sure you do headers/pulleys & all that fun stuff before running the swap! That'll make you love the touring even more

you're not that far away.

i am thinking about headers - i have a set of used bimmerbrake headers here that i might install before the ZHP engine goes in, but i would have to figure out tuning and i also would want to install some cats just downstream of the headers (i would feel wrong going catless).

I say go headers, OEM exhaust with a resonator delete so your neighbors can hear the song of our people [emoji1374] Lmao

That would be my route, I've considered headers for a really long time but not knowing much about 02 sensors/cats and where to place simulators I've second guessed it for a long time.

If theyre black/heated/power I would 100% consider it if shipping doesnt slaughter the walls of my wallet lol

terra could perhaps help with this, but AA has a tune for catless headers. i would maybe go with that and then still add cats just downstream of the headers for peace of mind.

i will be using the stock midsection with the BMW Performance muffler on the end - i want nice sound, but i don't care to be loud, and don't want to bother/disturb anyone.

they are indeed black/heater/power, with lumbar and adjustable bolsters. the only ones to get.

you're only 7hrs from me, it's too close to bother with shipping. i could potentially meet you part-way if you're serious.

Peter I can't express just how much I loved you posting a wagon full of Ikea furniture stuffed around an engine hoist. That picture may be the best summation of your 2017 yet.

I just transported two sets of wheels and tires in my Mazda and was really, really wishing I had a touring for that job.

Beat me to asking. 2 years is great endurance on a DD.

Beat me to asking. 2 years is great endurance on a DD.

i think it's CQuartz?

[Rovert]

Yup cQuartz for now. My detailer says it lasts two years minimum. Feeling the car after drying it doesn't seem like I need to do any reapplication yet. The surface is completely smooth to the touch after decontamination as if I clayed and polished a standard clearcoat! There is still no swirling and super minor spider webbing. I like having little to no maintenance on the exterior finish! I put this car through a ton of garbage this winter in Vancouver too. LOL

When I dry the car I use this spray called reload which freshens up the ceramic coat. It's a watery/milky liquid that smells so good. A few sprays on my drying towel and I just wipe the car the same as drying it. I do this once every two months.

dang. i need to consider this when the Touring gets back from paintwork...

[Rovert]

CQuartz isn't the choice of my detailer anymore. I think he found something either better with longevity and/or easier to apply. I'll be understanding about it more as soon as the sun starts to shine even more! You can see in the background he was XPEL wrapping a 997.2 C4 GTS Cab. Such a beautiful looking vehicle!

[ZHPizza]

I used Optimum Gloss Coat on my new wheels and it was stupid easy to apply. Planning to do the whole car after I've touched up the paint and let my detailer (Spenser) work his magic. Too busy splitting time between driving it and tearing it apart...such is life.

Used this detail spray and it really brought the shine out. Botond was here to see just how nice this detail spray was, as well as how it smells when applied.

Next weekend will be new fog lights for the girl....

These are fitment from the Mcoupe. I bought them for my e36 M3, and they have been passed on to the ZHP. They fit awesome, small amount of fender rolling but nothing major. :)
