What have you bought for your Zed this week?

[t-tony]

So what I had bought was simply a power cable adaptor. The reversing camera I fitted had a power plug for the cig.lighter type socket, but an inbuilt USB port too. What I did was plug the power plug into this cable with couple of laps of insulting tape and plug my dash cam lead into the USB port. When plugged into the power socket in the footwell there is nothing to get feet tangled with.

This is how it was,

and this is how it is now. Much tidier.

ps.

Go on then, what is it / was it for ? ....

 

[gookah]

switch on and off front parking camera

 

[t-tony]

I might be fitting some "no drill" parking sensor behind the front bumper, still deciding whether to or not Pete. Ideally you need a smooth surface all the way across the front bumper, and I don't have that.

Bullshit, I did.... I got excited for a bit and thought it was a passenger eject button of some sorts and wondered how it worked compressed air , pyro, or big springs....because I could use one..

 

[ExMX5owner]

Yup, those....

 

[bombur]

Yes, I checked them out but they require that we drill through the pedals and I am a bit sceptical or scared I might mess it up

All fitted, was easy job if you take your time. Taken it out for a run and I must have fitted them very well, as I didn't notice them

Didn't you feel the extra +5HP ? They do look great though, I will do the same probably in the spring. Do you also have an AC schnitzer gear knob?

I guess it could be said that my passenger seat doesn't get off the mark quite as quick as the rest of the car, and also a bit sloppy coming to a stop. So these will definitely improve the performance of my passenger seat.. .
Why they are called seat bushes, I'm unsure because technically they are shims to take up the backlash in the worm system, over time they get brittle, snap in the middle and fly out to join all the other un-identified artifacts that collect under the seats. Eventually making it ,with the aid of a vacuum cleaner to the jar of other artifacts and BMW bits ..

Came in the "post" today.

Had a search in the Shed for some fixings, so a job to do.

Thanks I've also bought the seatbelt guide fix kit but when I learned that I have to unwrap the seat from the leather I changed my mind Isn't that they way to do it? Perhaps when I buy new leather for the seats I'll do that.
