What did you do for your M3 today?

[Darbshaw]

Got the engine pulled after cylinder 4 let loose on track Saturday. Sad to see the engine go but I wanted to get this pulled quickly so it didn't become a sitting project car.

No real warning, let go at about 7.5k

I could be wrong, but looks like montana leather not the nappa found in the M3. In case that matters to you.

Good catch. I'm getting my wheel redone is OEM M leather so I guess those two probably won't match. I guess the only option for a short, ZHP compatible OEM M leather boot is have one custom made?

It fits the ZHP knob perfectly? No need for folding or tucking any extra leather?

Yup

Perfect. You have the part number by any chance??

Was a complete bonehead and stripped my MCS rebound adjuster, using it to tighten the shaft nut…. Yay 😔 of course I wanted a rebuild I didn't need

Been driving the E46 after the manual swap. Its wild not seeing the SMG. But the 6 speed is what this car absolutely needed. And such an easy 6 speed to putz around town in....compared to my GT3. The GT3 is like a fire breathing, straight piped, bastard on wheels.

Got tired of waiting for someone to make a catted equal length section 1 so I built my own.

EXCELLENT! Cant wait for the review

The non-M E46 leather shift boot fits fine even though they're a 5 speed.

This is problem I was wondering about also. I'm probably doing a manual swap here soon and was looking to keep the leather shift boot but you're saying you can't get a leather shift boot that fits the ZHP knob? I don't mind the alcantara shift boot but I'm keeping my leather wheel so wasn't sure how the mix of alcantara and leather would look.

Big year for us for cars— brought e92 down from IL to TX a couple weeks ago

Nothing that I like at least. If you can get one it looks like some type of weird Vinyl leather, not like the Nappa Leather that's in there now. The regular plain aftermarket options that come already with the frame just don't look like the stock one. They look....cheaper. That's just my opinion. You can always get just the leather and reuse the frame, but with my luck it would probably look like shit after I attempted it. I hated arts and crafts as a kid.

I only searched a little but I couldn't find a ZHP leather shift boot but I just thought I was missing it. I guess I'll just go the alcantara route then if that's the only choice.
