Guys,

I was wandering if you have difficulty getting into second gear in your M3. Mine feels like there is something in between 1st and 2nd gear that you have to push it into 2nd gear. The rest of the gear is fine. Is this normal? I have done 7000 kms so I presume it is run in.

Please advice!

Don

Its normal, you gotta shift with the lever more to the left side...

I've experienced this ever since I got my car... everyone that drives it notices it to EXCEPT the dealership... so who knows...

I found that if you lift up your shift boot that sometimes the adapter for the illuminated shift knob gets in a weird position... I just taped mine to the shifter so it wouldn't get in the way... seemed to help a little cause sometimes it would get in the way...

TC M3,

Thnaks for your reply. Your M3 look super low and it look sick!!! What did yu do to it? Just springs or did you changed the suspensions as well?

The pic in my sig isnt actually a picture of my car, but I have the same one... lol... right now I have the clear front markers and will have a set of H&R's on within the next week... other than that I am ordering the headlight brows abnd possibly replacing the cd player and the subs in the back with the JL stealth kit...

What about you?
