oh, I don't know about that Eli. Now that I bought the car I can't afford to put fuel in it so I'm sure you'd leave me in a cloud of dust :)
Forgot to mention that I did sit in Tripod's car and noticed a bit of that steering alignment issue that I have. That or I was forcing myself to see it in his car to make me feel better. And if it is indeed the same as my car then I imagine it's something that most ZHP or e46 cars experience. Therefore I can only assume, due to there not being any mention of such an issue up until I came along, that my eyes are a bit askew or my arms are different lengths (among other non-symmetrical anatomical attributes of mine). In all seriousness though I will be looking into the steering wheel thing down the road.

It might be a drawback of the steering setup. With swaps, things usually are never 100% the way they're supposed to be. I ran into this a few times with the S50 swap; there were numerous things that didn't quite fit the they were supposed to and had to get modified to fit and still weren't all the way there. It's something you learn to live with, I guess.
Car passed smog today. Shane (at Aliso Viejo Auto Service) ran it through his machine and the car passed. Maybe not with flying colors, but then again this is no Prius :) Straight to AAA from there and registered the car and I'm sure it helped that they verified it as a 330i as it was parked next to another Imola Red ZHP :) We're legal, baby.. I deleted the front plate but I'm willing to run that risk.
Took a photo of the engine bay and will post up later.
Next on the list:

-Front lower control arm lollipop bushings (purchased)
-Ignition Coils (purchased)
Botond, will have some So Cal Mafia members sit in the car so I can get their opinion on Saturday. I will hopefully have the chance to sit in some other ZHPs as well. We'll go from there :) Appreciate your insight.

Terry, I've got to tell you- I drove a couple of hundred miles today, and when I looked at my steering wheel when I stopped at a light...
Yep, my wheel looked exactly like you describe- the right side looks just slightly closer to me than the left. Maybe like 3 degrees of tilt. My wife confirmed that she could see it from the passenger seat as well.
I've had the car for over three months, and that's the first time I noticed it.
Maybe we're all just seeing things.

Kayger, really? Makes me wonder if it might be certain cars, all ZHPs, or E46 cars? I must say that I have always been extremely picky about seating position, steering wheel location, etc. I think it took me a few days to position my steering wheel in my E30 (non-factory steering column that comes off the roll cage).
I think the next logical step would be to have the other mafia members sit in the car on Saturday. Will certainly keep you posted.
Glad I might not be as crazy as I think I am. That or I feel bad that Kayger might also have the same equilibrium issue that my head has ;-)

That's weird. This is definitely something I would notice, and I don't have that problem, Keith.
What's going on here?!
Ima have a look today....
Same here.
I will be taking measurements when I get home today from a fixed point to both sides of the wheel. It could very well just be optical.
I'll report back.
