The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[san]

These are original e90 pedals. Straight out off the box it’s not compatible with the e46. But if you swap bases it’s totally compatible. You will need 5 point tamper proof torx plus bit to disassemble the pedals and swap bases.

Below is my son’s auto, but I have manual ready for a swap into my daily driver, little difference between manual and auto bases for e46.

That’s the modded manual accelerator pedal with original base waiting for the install into my manual ZHP.

It does work for an e82 1M without any mod if anyone is interested.

This is awesome info, thanks so much!

When disassembling be careful sliding the pedal out of the base. Take your time and clean(wash) original base tracks off of dirt, if you don’t you may snap little tab holding it in. Not the end of the world and it would still hold but patience is a virtue.

A 50% IPA mix makes it easy to slip in rubber covers with metal shell on.

Does anyone know the part number for a replacement business radio faceplate? Pretty sure I saw someone recently replace it with a new one

How easy is it to remove the storage cubbie below the radio and the ashtray/cover between the seats? Do they just pop out? both are broken in my zhp and need to get them fixed.

The sunglasses cubby can sometimes be removed by putting your hand into the cubby, spreading your hand wide & pulling toward the front of the car.

Storage cubby pops right out. Watch this at about the 1 min mark

thanks, folks. Will give it that a shot.

Turns out it’s pretty simple to pull both out.

The storage cubby i just pulled straight out from the open lid and popped out no problem. The ashtray is just two screws after you pop out the piece that goes inside.

Now need to source some replacement parts. Went to a junkyard today but no luck

Anyone know the part numbers for the 2 pieces of black trim on the left side of the car? Thinking I can get cheaper at FCP Euro or the like.
BMW wants $950 for them which is BS.

I do not know that p/n, but Ebay is an option too, if used parts are fine with you.
