to me its dealer fitted crap that breaks . every car I have done over the past year and bit had it pulled when I did the car. considering most of it is T tapped in place its asking for issues as 90% of them are loose!

if you have the alarm that goes with it rip that out too.

I just leave the mirror toggle on the left side and when I go to park, turn the mirror down.

Who needs auto dipping mirrors when I still have 2 functioning arms.... LOL :)

It's actually pretty nice to have when you park next to a curb, especially if you have some nice wheels. BTW anyone know how to make the mirrors NOT fold in when you arm the alarm?

For me it is one of the options on the switch next to the mirror adjustment. One is out, one is in and the other is automatic. Not sure which is which tho.

I was told by one lucky person with auto folding mirrors that it only folds in automatically when the mirror fold switch is pressed in at the top. When it is in the neutral setting in the middle they do not fold in.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
