Does the stock ZHP exhaust come with secondary cats? I remember reading that later model E46s had them, at least in the US. Not sure if that applies to the ZHP as well.
Also is the ZHP muffler any different from the regular muffler?
No, there's only one pair of cats (one for each bank). As far as I know, this is the case for all E46's in the US.Quote:

Yes. The regular E46 330's have a flap in the exhaust valve that opened up on higher demand to produce more noise. The ZHP mufflers don't have the flap so it's always "open" per se.Quote:

M56/sulev have secondary cats, not zhp
Thanks for clearing that up :like
Ah, there it is. Totally forgot that stupid SULEV exists.Quote:

Does anyone know of a company that makes BMW Motorsport roundels for the hood/trunk on the sedan?
I want to get some. I know some people have opinions that it’s cheesy to add these but I like the look of them
I think they look cool!

Are they really that bad? My OE ones are Bosch, never had any issues since I got my car. I also picked up a couple used Bosch ones from a part-out, they worked fine when I tested themQuote:

Apparently the problem aren't the original Boschs, but rather the new updated design that causes problems:Quote:

I've found similar comments to this, though I'm not sure how much weight I should put on them.
It's very rare that I buy used parts for my car but maybe you could buy a used OE coil as well if you can find a guy selling them cheap enough. Mine were only $10 CAD a pop, can't really go wrong for that price even if it happens to conk out a couple years down the lineQuote:

Fwiw I dug deep into coil options a bit ago and decided to pony up for the Eldor ones that everyone seems to love for every engine

Thanks for the hot tip! Those are the same price as the Delphi set on FCP so I'll definitely go for Eldor. I just ordered a single Bosch for now to at least have a working car. Got a chance to do the test and it's definitely the coil.Quote:

I figured I'd check since I needed a set but really wanted to buy from there. Thankfully they do carry it, or at least the part number that Pizzaman has posted with that eBay link.
Sounds like my voltage regulator - my alternator has the oval connector so I had to order the one for the Z4.Quote:

Hmm...that explains why when I replaced JRs coils awhile back, it didn't snap. I was like that's weird, how do I know it's in? Just pushed it all the way down as much as I could and that was it. Hopefully, it doesn't misfire down the road. It's working fine now and cured his misfires.
So do the Eldor coils snap into place like the originals?
When I was deep in the bowels of the internet looking at Eldor reviews I found someone saying that BMW was making the switch to them for every model, but slowly rolling it out to earlier models as they ramped up production to keep up. They started with the newer forced induction models and have been expanding from there, so you'll see some sites list them for nearly every model and some, well, I don't know what FCP is doing.Quote:

This is good to know, thanks for sharing your experience with these coils :thumbsupQuote:

This is what I have in the ZHP. I love the set.Quote:

Thanks BP! Would love to look at more if people have other suggestions too.Quote:

I do have a custom extension for the accelerator pedal though for easier heel toe for street driving. They are local to us. Located near EAS. My only complaint is when those stud things wear down, the wet grip isn't as good. I'll probably buy another one though.Quote:

I prefer the Rennline pedal set. They are excellent quality but you will pay for them. I have this set for my Porsche and Audi and plan to retrofit them into my M3 and ZHP...Quote:

As for the dead pedal, I would stay with the ///M dead pedal :thumbsup
