What's the difference between a standard gear knob and ZHP?

its supposed help with smoother gear shifts, but not sure if its an e89 mod that's done.del_tl1000r wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 1:29 pm What's the difference between a standard gear knob and ZHP?

I believe its to do with the ergonomics of the zhp which make for less notchy shifts.
have not had one, so don't quote me.

It’s the ergonomics & also the weight as the zhp is double the oem fitment it helps to “damp out” any notchiness and the added momentum assists the throw action (that’s my theory anyway)Phoenixboy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 3:11 pmI believe its to do with the ergonomics of the zhp which make for less notchy shifts.

Not E89 specific, but the ZHP matches the M Sport steering wheel in ergonomics. It is also shorter what a shorter throw.

It certainly helps on an E86, so I'm sure it would do the same on an E89.
CDV delete on my E86 and E46 was a big improvement, so I'm sure it helps any manual BMW - just need to get it removed from my E91 now!
Coupes because stunning!

I fitted the ZHP to my e85 where yes it made a massive difference, can’t say I feel the need on my 35i as it’s already a shorter knob than the e85 and the shift is just fine.
Same for the CDV.
The 89 is a completely different drive to an 85 much less aggressive and much more refined. In truth whenever I drove my 85 I wanted to drive like a hooligan where as the 89 is much more like a wolf in sheeps clothing and will be driven both ways.

I agree, that’s why I drive my e89 in a sensible fashionStuartt wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 9:54 pm I fitted the ZHP to my e85 where yes it made a massive difference, can’t say I feel the need on my 35i as it’s already a shorter knob than the e85 and the shift is just fine.
