Hiya Dane!
Sorry for lack of updates. She has been hibernating the past year. Cleaned up the interior with more simple center console which eliminated the seat warmer buttons. Added an Alcantara M3 ZCP steering wheel, adjusted ride height, RTABs & limiters, corner balanced and aligned her. Also replaceds lo ightly leaking Constant Pressure Valve on the S54's block.
In New Zealand, so cool to see the occasional ZHP...although I know they're not referred to as Performance Package down here. Home next week!

Excellent thread, awesome car! Looks great with those ARC-8s... too bad they end up soooo expensive for us Canadians!
Not to beat a dead horse, but the angled steering wheel is a 3 series thing, if not a BMW thing. My E90 was the same way, as was every 3 series I've tried (note - I can't comment on the F30). I figured it had something to do with how the steering column is supposed to collapse.

I honestly think the combination of the angled steering wheel and the fact that the sport seats don't allow "easy" access to the dead pedal for the left foot is causing my back to get out of whack... when I lay down now, it feels like the left side of my body sits is angled upward to the right.Originally Posted by orange260z

I've rearranged my desk so that the left side of the keyboard is further away from me, to get ready for driving the e46 again in the coming weeks.I honestly think the combination of the angled steering wheel and the fact that the sport seats don't allow "easy" access to the dead pedal for the left foot is causing my back to get out of whack... when I lay down now, it feels like the left side of my body sits is angled upward to the right.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the interest and motivation! So I long ago mentioned I'd love to put some CSL seats in the car. A good friend of mine came across a set of front E46 CSL seats that had seen some better days. The upholstry is fine but the back of the Recaro shells were chipped and scuffed from some pretty rough / careless storage (not my friend). So I've been busy reconditioning them and hope to install them very soon in conjunction with new center console parts (i.e. armrest delete).
There are a couple of things I've changed up on the car over the past year or so but they're minor. I'll be mentioning them in the very near future with the next update (couple of weeks) that'll show the interior updates w/ pictures.
Been seeing more and more ZHPs here at work... Still my favorite BMWs
-Terry
