My z4 3.0 project thread (lots of pics)

How much difference did the short shifter end up making? Sounds like a decent mod

Its diffrent, shorter throw between gears and takes a few gear shifts to get used to

But ive got used to it now and I think it makes it feel alot better

My hand sits alot lower now 1-2 and definitely 3-4 is quicker and less movment in your hand

Get a video up or photos of where the stick sits now when in gears, would be interesting to see the difference because I think the throw on each movement is quite far, might not be helped by the standard gear knob on mine. I was about to buy a zhp one but the website has stopped trading currently which is very annoying

[sam1832]

Zhp is nice and short compares to the stock one

I will take photos of 3 to 4 measured from the back edge of the ash tray tomorrow

Just had a good read of this thread from start to finish.

Made great reading as some great photos to visualise.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Going to look into Laminx for my lights now. And posted on your other topic about if ur making any more key covers

The zhp is a great mod. I love mine.

So a long while since an update...

Yesterday I finally installed my 330 calipers (actually from an x5) fully refurbed including pistons

So it now has 325mm rotors instead of 300mm

Fitted with ebc red stuff pads

A few pics, sorry about dirty wheels but pics were taken after bedding in lol

Tonights little tweak too much time on my hands,

Orange front rad cross brace, to go with the calipers and the ginger head lights

Looks better in real light but pics:

Brakes look brilliant mate!! Good job! Also quite like the front brace colour change... Never even thought of that! Nice

Cheers mate,

The brakes have just done enough miles to be bedded in now, so much better than before

I noticed it when i painted the kidneys, so the colour change is nice a and subtle. dead is to do four torq bolts just need undoing then slide the brace out

[LukeMace]

May need to do this now! Thanks!!!

I've just got the brake set from a 330 (front and back) and am glad they make a difference! You doing the backs too?

I'm thinking bright green calipers (like Marius' wheels were a while back) so will do these braces the same colour!

[RJS-Z4]

Liking the new brakes, they certainly need upgrading on the 3.0 (imo)

[andysat]

Ooh a braces mod!
