I know when I swapped out my M3 shifter for a 330d shifter it made a noticeable difference :)
Charlie,
I'm unsure what the difference between the 330d and the Z3M shifter is. I do know that the ZHP uses a shift lever that doesn't have a bend in it. The other shift levers in the E46 family seems to have bends in the shifter.

Comparison to the BMW SSK vs the ZHP (straight one).
The Z3M shifter is relatively straight and works similarly to the ZHP one. I do know the 545i shifter has a longer throw and isn't a short shifter to the ZHP lever. M3 levers are longer throw than a ZHP so I'm not sure where it stands vs the 330d. LOL.
I wish I had a 330d lever to compare it with.
Derek,
I got a picture of both the BMW Performance SSK shifter, which is pretty much the same as the 330d shifter. Anyway I got both here :thumbsup

I have this part on order so I will be doing a review of this when I get this installed. It works very well with the ///M so I'm guessing it will give me what I am looking for...:)
Really nice looking lap. Very smooth inputs and looks quick.Quote:

I really hope to break into 1:49 zone.

It happens to me all the time but BP will always tell me that my ZHP looks better than his as if I recently detailed mine. Keeping our cars clean is a never-ending battle. I always take in the moments right after cleaning my cars....take pics so that I can enjoy them long after the car gets dirty again....;)
Of course.... my ///M stays cleaner much longer than my ZHP does but that's because I'm driving my ZHP all the time...
And considering my car is black.. it's already dirty now even in the garage. LOL
Been there... done that....
I used to have an 1985.5 Mustang SVO in black and grey cloth interior. Was an awesome car but way too much work to keep her clean. I will admit there's nothing like a beautifully clean and detailed black car though! It was just way too much work for what I had wanted to do.....
So true, lol. Looks good.Quote:

thanks for the comments guys!
It won't be clean for long. Trackdays tend to get the car quite dirty. It's been awhile since I've seen my car clean like this.
Few upgrades coming soon before next trackday. :shh
I was listening to the video with my headphones and the car sounds great. It really brought back flashbacks of Gran Turismo and it was cool seeing how you negotiated the turns. Your driving is really good.Quote:

I ended up finding out that the Harry's Laptimer app can overlay data to the gopro videos with a little fiddling. This is great news because I can have a video with information overlaid on top that can help me improve my laptimes! Only thing sucks is that its only in 480p :(
Behold, the Video with overlay:

How many wheels do you have?!?! They all look great and serve a purpose I'm sure.

I have total of three sets :). The style 42s were off my coworkers s/c e36 m3. I just wanted to try them for fun. :)
One set is going away. And I may get another set of wheels for daily :)

The more I look at these pics with the bmw centercaps the more I don't like them with the bmw center caps. I will go back to the APEX center caps tomorrow. Its a shame the pics were blurry from the shop. It looked fine on the iphone! lol

i put back on the APEX center caps since the BMW ones were driving me crazy for some reason.
The Apex ones blend in better. The color of the wheels don't suit the BMW caps.
