While replacing the rear brake pads on the E90, I discovered a crack on the passenger side piston dust cover. Turned out to be very difficult to find a rebuild kit for the E90 rear calipers that didn't cost a small fortune (ridiculous), but I found some and ordered, let's see if they fit. Video should be up next weekend. Update...replacing the disks also with Zimmermann Z Coat.

I DECLARED WAR ON THE GARAGE!
To create more space to work on the cars and film, I've declared war on the garage! I'm doing a time lapse of the new set-up and hopefully (if I don't pass out) I'll post it Sunday evening or Monday.

Hi everyone, sorry I'm a bit behind schedule - still trying to make the wheel spacer video (Z3, Z4, E46 and E90), the Z3 headlight bulb (non LED) upgrade video, and the E90 rear brake pad replacement video, but if it's not one thing, it's another :( We've had storms since Friday, I can't even hear myself in the garage. Hang in there, these and much more coming soon. Hope you have a great day!

Hello everyone, thank you for all the feedback on the hub centric wheel spacer poll, glad there was interest in the topic. I'm currently finalizing the research and should have a new video towards the end of next week discussing all the details, pros and cons, installation, and safety. Have a great day!
