I'm not sure if the 5spd is different or not from the 6spd. I also want to put out a note that the 5spd driveshaft does hit the Z3M shifter. It does not hit the ZHP shift lever though!

but It's these parts

thank you so much! I think you are right about the z3 shifter, I'm going it play it safe and get a 545i shifter

Derek,

Does the Z3M shifter make that much of a difference?

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

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.

Thanks! I know there is definitely more room to grow but I was consistently in the 1:51.xx (pending traffic) and the fastest lap was 1:50.15. I see a few places where I could brake later and on the gas earlier. Next time probably in october, I'll do it again see if I can learn anything new and get better times. I really hope to break into 1:49 zone.

:D
