The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Is there any sort of Mafia discount at tirerack?

Unfortunately, no. Just use the affiliate link so the mafia gets their cut!

There are a few good promotions going on now, though! I think good year/Dunlop has a hundred bucks or so in mail in rebates.

Does anybody know why the 325 weighs less than the 330 on the E46? The M54 blocks are the same, right? The difference is just stroke?

Equipment differences. 330's came better equipped for the most part.

Hi all, for a grey leather interior, is there a recommended product to apply regularly to ensure a good long life for the seats?

Any product for darker grey alcantara?

Thanks!

I have tried finding this on the search function with no real luck.
Has anyone used the m5 illuminated zhp knob (25112284205) on their e46?
I want to replace my alcantara boot with a leather boot so if I could make the m5 boot fit that would be ideal. Is there a thread with this exact info?

It's been done by a few. The M5 boot will not fit as-is; it's an entirely different shape than the E46. Maybe with some modifications you could make it fit over the E46 frame, but I'd advise just buy an E46 leather boot instead and using the knob by itself.

I found a useful forum on M3f after I posted. Looks like I will try and use the boot and fit it to a e46 frame

I have the illuminated F10 ///M shift knob installed on my ///M. I removed the boot from the shift knob and installed the shift knob using the leather boot I already have for my ///M. Pictures of this retrofit are in my ///M project thread.

I can't seem to find a thread about the window actuator problem. Can someone link me?

...just got the car, tested windows on test drive and they did great, now they're sticking bad. Kinda mad about it.


Also, is everyone's temp gauge exactly in the middle? All my other cars have been a needle or two left of the middle.

In the last few days when I turn on the car, there's a loud pop from the subwoofer. Speakers sound fine but haven't really played with it. One E46F thread suggested it was an amp dying. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
