The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

That's where it would be but not all cars came with. In fact, if you don't have factory Bluetooth I would guess you wouldn't have the mic.

Sorry to hear replacing the bushings didn't help you any. Still haven't fixed the clunk?

I have included two videos that have the clunking sound:

1. I am engaging the clutch and then disengaging the clutch in reverse:

2. I am engaging the clutch, disengaging, then finally pulling away in first:

Wish I could help, but I know even less about diff bushings than the the Greeks understand how they got in their debt crisis. My gut suggestion would be M3 bushings to increase durability over ours, but I wouldn't know how much longer they'd last.

There is no m3 bushing that fits a zhp, that's why I'm stumped.

I doubt there is, but was there ever a console insert that had a single cup holder and the eurotray? Something like this:

I like the use of a single cup holder but would love to have the eurotray as well. My guess is I'd have to custom fabricate it, I can't seem to find any manufactured part.

I've been dying for one of these for the longest time. Really wish they made a tray/cupholder.

I bought a gruppe m intake last week from eBay and it came with a k&n filter and the filter looks quite bad... Which replacement filter would u guys recommended??

Would M3 HSD / Eibach coil overs fit our cars?

Same. I've wanted one since my '03 330Ci. You can only use the front cup holder while the armrest is down and I use that one a lot, but the rest of the console would have a lot more utility with the euro tray. I'm seriously tempted to buy the short euro tray and try and custom fab it with my current cup holders but I have no experience with bondo/whatever you might use to do it.

My beef with the cupholders is that the front one is useless. It gets in the way of my shifting. I don't have an armrest installed though so I always use the rear.

I like the looks of that one.

So you'd want it the other way around, with the euro tray closest to the shifter and the cup holder in the rear? Interesting. I know what you mean, things in there definitely get in the way when shifting if too large but I get used to it pretty easily.

It was custom fabricated by a guy over on E46Fanatics back in 2010. He never posted about the finished product, but he describes how he cannibalized the OE cup holders and sawed them in half and attached the short euro tray

Sorry San and bshovers, I don't want your questions to get lost in the thread while I yap on about euro trays/cup holders. I don't actually know, unfortunately, but someone with more knowledge will surely chime in soon.
