Exactly, when I drove my co-worker's 35,000 mile 6mt E92 M3 it was nearly perfect...but I just couldn't justify driving a 6mt car in LA traffic for shifter feel like that. Plus the clutch pedal felt iffy (like it got stuck for a second when being disengauged). I might have to reconsider, though. I had an auto-solutions short shifter in my E46 M3 and it was magical, just clunked right into gear. I wish I was closer, I'd totally take you up on that...really appreciate the offer! I'm in Whittier, perhaps if I ever venture up farther north I'll shoot you a pm

I have a challenge street mid pipe currently and have had a few rear sections with it. I had the Challenge rear section but it was murder on the ears, the drone was awful. I considered the Eisenmann Sport, but couldn't find any clips with that set up and I thought the Race might put me right back to where i started. This is why i ask... I have since modified my OEM rear section myself, I only covered 75% of the perforated section so I'm not sure what you would call it. I wanted a calm sounding car when i was driving calm (The SC whine is audible, but not intrusive) and a angry car when I was driving the car a little aggressive. Its like Jekyll and Hyde now. BTW, your level of commitment to make your car the best it can be is nothing short of remarkable. I feel the same about my car, i was lucky enough to purchase one from an owner like you and I. It didn't hurt that my car only had 19K on it when I bought it.. Keep up the good work I love the thread!

The best way to place an order is to give Ronald a call, he always seems to pick up the phone and has no problems having a 30-minute conversation with you explaining in detail everything you'll ever want to know about short shifters and bushings, lol. For reduction, he recommends 15 percent or less to give the same shift effort as OEM, my first one ordered for my E90 was 15 percent, I decided to change it up a bit for my E92 and went with a 12 percent reduction. The 12 percent for me seems to be the sweet spot, it feels great. Since you're using the F10 knob, I also recommend you have him increase the height 10mm to bring the F10 knob closer to OEM height unless you prefer the knob to sit lower. It's all personal taste. Lastly are the bushings, my first kit I ordered I went with 90A bushings, which is on the stiffer spectrum so you do end up feeling more vibrations in the shifter. It feels good if you like the direct "mechanical" feedback, for my E92 I went with the 70A+ bushings, and again it feels "just right" for me. The install process for the shift kit is very straight forward but just tedious because of the small cramp spaces to work with. After doing it twice now I find it very easy, I can probably knock out the install in about 1.5 hours. Definitely anyone with limited mechanical skills and lots of patience can install this. Good luck man and it's probably the most rewarding and favorite mod for my E9x 6MT cars I've done. Hands down it transforms the driving feel and experience, the car feels like a proper performance vehicle now. |

10/5 Update - DINAN Intake
A nice little piece showed up today, just finished installing it tonight since I had some free time. DINAN CF intake system Fitment 10/10 This intake is replacing my BMC drop in filter and honestly the car doesn't sound any different, I'm guessing my exhaust combo drowns out most of the induction noise. It does add a little bling to the engine bay which is always nice. Probably placebo but the car does feel a little quicker. Stay tuned, more intake parts coming... |

^ I think you're right, your exhaust is drowning it out. My car had the Dinan intake installed before exhaust and you could definitely hear a difference. Nothing major, but certainly noticeable, mostly at higher RPM's.
Car is coming along nicely |

Update 10/7 - Better pressure washer
Not specifically M3 related but most of my order from Obsessed Garage and Detailed Image came. Donated my trusty SunJoe electric portable washer (which had served me well for over 2 years) to a co-worker and upgraded to the Comet Static 1700 "Advanced" kit along with a few other detail items. Some liquids, fresh microfibers, and drying towels to wrap it up. |

I have the full OG setup for the Karcher 1700, you'll love that foam cannon and the Mosmatic gun. Assuming that's the "regular" mosmatic gun vs the OG-spec gun? I have the regular and it's been just fine for my needs.

I think the gun I got as part of the Advance package is the standard Mosmatic one but I think it's the same gun as the OG spec just with different fittings, correct me if I'm wrong. |

I've got a mint interior as well, with a nice new car smell to go along with it. Don't want to mess with that at all, but also want to condition my leather and am leaning towards Swissvax leather milk. Is there much/any scent with the Swissvax, or will it let the natural new leather smell to come through? |

Update 10/26/20 - Corsa UCC Exhaust
Removed my beloved Eisenmann Race and installed a Corsa UCC exhaust today. Definitely not as hideous as people make it out to be, I think it looks rather clean actually. The install was cake, everything lined up nicely. Sound: In-person the sound is the most unique of any E9x M3 exhaust I've heard. It removes all the "BASS" from the exhaust sound and replaces it with interesting mid-high notes. Exotic sounding is definitely the best way to describe it. Definitely less boomy down low compared to the Eisenmann but still screams at WOT. I had this same setup on my E90 M3 and I really loved the way it sounds, I'll keep my Eisenmann Race just in case I want to go back to being a Hooligan. Can't wait to see how it pairs up with a carbon intake plenum. Last edited by DanMpower; 10-27-2020 at 05:16 PM.. |

How do you compare this to the SSF1 you sold me?

For the Obsessed Garage quick disconnects, make sure the inner gaskets are lined up right. One of mine was backwards and it started to leak. I turned it around and all is good now.

It is quieter compared to other setups I've had but with a very unique tone. It has sorta an S85 V10 tone to it around town, very hard to describe...
The SSF1 mated with test pipes definitely was louder. The Corsa lasted a whole 12 hours on my car lol and was picked up by forum member UBERV8 today. Back to the Eisenmann Race. |

Man exhausts for this car are a lot harder than I thought to get it just right. The Akra always look and sound clean but it's by far one of the most mild. The SS Race is pretty good I just hate that it doesn't really save much in the weight department. SS does have some of my favorite sound though too.
The real shame is that the MPE sound terrible, in my opinion, once you move away from stock X-pipe.

I always thought that being a premium supplier, they should include install tips/tricks on the website. Like this for example. We pay extra to not have the headache of experimenting with what works and what doesn't work.
