It was. Only $5, I thought was a bargain.

I would've thought those grips were for your fingers, ie along the bottom?

97/z3/2.8. I swapped my 16 inch style 18 for 17 inch staggered style 32. I always liked the 32’s and found a nice deal on Facebook. I had them powder coated locally. The new Connie Extreme Contact 2.0 is a great looking tire in the flesh.

Currently on garden leave so doing some jobs. However paining the house has taken over due to weather, but expecting to get back to the car later this week.
Fixing the heater control arm..plan to drill the arm and put in this (got two sizes in case)

In all honesty I bought these before we went over to the villa, but were waiting here today when I got home.

So, as my old boss at work used to say, "Here's a little job".

It's usually a leak which kills A/C and often very slowly over time. The thing is, is how much it costs to fix the leak. "O" rings are a nice cheap one.:thumbsup:

One of these.
3rd brake light seal.
After visiting ZedShed and the team changing my fuel tank straps, I checked out where the water might be getting into the boot from and found a thread explaining it. An easy fix whilst on the driveway, cheap as chips too. From Vertu bay of dreams shop.

As an aside, on a Merc forum I'm on, members get a discount from MB Grangemouth for parts that is worthwhile, is there a similar set up here?

Sopers Lincoln offer forum discount, not sure if others

Not specifically for the Z, but for my wall in the home office ready to return to work for those teams meetings. I use background images on screen to post subliminal messages like previous projects undertaken around the world, mushrooms, incompetence, corporate BS messages, holiday destinations etc. Have decided to be a bit more grown up and trendy with this wall art:

ok its on the cardboard packaging on the kitchen floor, but once the wall is repainted, you get the picture. Got it off Etsy on a discount :thumbsup:


Update:
now on the wall

Can't believe I only just found this thread 🤣 I might need to create a new username to keep the wife off the scent!

Today's haul:
  • Trim tools (before I break any more clips)
  • Heated seat switches
  • a USB socket that's going into one of the switch blanks

3 little bits of adhesive tape, which could get me into trouble with the "///M" Police. ;)=))

After cleaning off the last (I hope) of the summer flies.

If you are trying to pretend your car is something it's not, its your car to do as you wish. BMW totally devalued the M status years ago, for their short term commercial gain in any case, so it matters little anymore. Most BMWs have a m insignia these days. If I still had a true M car, I would remove the badges anyway.
