ZHP Shift Knob or BMW Performance?

TRY...M3 · 08-19-2011, 05:49 PM

Looking to order a new shift knob which do you prefer? Any experiences with either.... also installed pics welcome...thanks guys

Is the Performance knob weighted? I have the ZHP knob in my car and the added weight helps smooth out the roughness in the 1-2 shift.

ZHP without a doubt. and if your up to it transfer over the lighting from the stock knob to the zhp one

ZHP because I used to have an E46 ZHp 330i. Shifter felt so good; way better than the shifter on E9X M3.

ZHP

Dies the zhp knob refer to e46 zhp? Cause I have zhp e92 and the knob ain't that great.

Yes it refers to the e46 330i ZHP (Performance Package) shifter.

My ZHP knob comes in around 181 gram. I don't know how tightly BMW control the quality and weight difference between each one though. Stock e92 one was around 83 grams (after cutting off the boot). I don't have the performance one so someone else can help out. Hope this helps.

Where can I get one and is there a DIY install guide?
