          Got my Karb race csl intake box installed today and also got my personalized license plate as all. The plate was the cherry on top of my modding journey. Gonna take a rest so my bank account can breathe a bit hahahah. In the past 4-5 months I wrapped my whole car, got some upgraded exterior pieces, performed a lot of maintenance, PDR, transmission refresh with coolerworx SSK, installed the Eisenmann sport muffler, Vanos refresh, rod bearings, section 1 rasp pipe, Dynavin d8 upgrade, bbs LM wheels and tires and the Karb csl intake with tune.

          Whew!

          i think next in terms of mods, I’m going to look into getting the Vorsteiner V CSL kit or something along those lines and a front BBK.

          also going to start attending some “no work” autocross events that are local to me. These are not competitive and just for fun so I’ll hoon with my heavy 19 inch wheels with the top down

              That’s quite the list of mods you’ve done recently!
              I like the plate! I’ve never had a personalized plate until I got my current e46 M3. A fun little custom touch

                  Got rid of the rubbery oem shifter and had it replaced with a direct mount shifter. The mechanical feel is incredible.

                    Great mod! Ever since I had the CAE shifter on my F80 years ago, I can’t drive a manual car without one. One of my first mods to my e46 m3 was to get a chassis mounted shifter. Welcome to the club!

                    what brand is yours? Did you do anything else while you were in there. I put a new selector joint, 034 engine/trans mounts and d4 atf fluid and it shifts like a machanical dream.

                      This is actually a good looking CAE ,which one is this? The thing holding me back from one was always the aesthetics this one looks pretty nice with the boot etc.

                        yeah this is the first direct mount I’ve done. Because of that I’m not familiar with all the brands. So a friend recommended the Garagistic stage 2. Whether that’s a great one or not I don’t know. It felt great out of the box. Looks to be quality.
                        I also added the Turner DSSR, and new selector rod joint.
                        the motor and trans mounts we changed to poly 😬. So far it’s not bad at all! The mounts are 80a durometer rating, so softer poly.
                        The biggest NVH change was at idle. We called Jim at Kassel and he bumped my idle to 1000rpm and its fixed! All smooth.

                          This is the Garagistic stage 2. Black, Carbon, short shaft, delrin knob. I also changed the boot to the OEM Alcantara boot to match my new steering wheel.

                          Based on our very popular standard solid mount shifter, this is our "Direct Mount" solid shifter with a carbon fiber shifter rod! If you would like this shifter with the standard aluminum rod, see this listing. This solid shifter uses the same components of our standard solid shifter with a few changes in design. The main change is that this solid shifter uses a flat plate direct mount style shifter plate that is required in Chassis like the E92 and E82. Those cars have Oval openings for their shifters. Simply use the 3 existing holes in the chassis for a 100% bolt-up installation that is completely reversible.

                            You’re fine with the shifter. I heard good things about garagtastic. I know lots of e36 m3 guys use it. Wow with the poly mounts your car must feel like a race car! Haha

                            one thing I did with my shifter was extend the rod and add a heavy knob. It’s so clicky and satisfying to shift now. May want to try a heavier knob.

                            I added a Likewise (shift knob brand in AUS) shift knob (weighs 1.6#s) with a raceseng extender.

                            I know people think a longer shifter looks silly but I like it since it’s closer to the wheel when shifting.

                              What is with the BMW branding on the top of the boot? Did install require modification of stock surround as some do? I too want the benefit of the direct mount without cutting out bits.

                                Yeah the poly mounts are noticeable if the revs dip below 1000. Honestly other than that I can feel a very faint vibration at cruising speeds. I think the positives out way the negative. To me it feels like the power is put down more effectively. Feels more solid in a good way. 80a poly is quite stiff, but is near the softest on the scale for poly. Most guys I see run 95a.

                                I may try a heavier knob as well. I currently like the Delrin material as it doesn’t get hot or cold. My car is garaged at home but if I chose to take it to work then it is outside and can make the metal shift knobs way way too hot!
