Installed @HeavyKnobs bronze weights into my shift ****. 10 minutes, excellent instructions, decent casting, nice fit.

Despite being told to be careful, bringing your oops-stick (extendable round magnet-on-a-stick) to get the T9 bolt dropped into the seat rail is a good idea....

Weather sucks, so no field test yet. Will update if anyone is on the fence... -Zoomy.

Got it from this seller on ebay. OEM used pieces recovered in new leather. Great guy to deal with! Received 4 days after ordering, from Latvia! https://www.ebay.com/itm/23422123822...9548%7Ciid%3A1
Ran me $2k out the door for all of it, even came with the shift ****/boot, entire ebrake mechanism and all the front trim pieces in leather as well. Didn't have to reuse any of my original parts, other than some screws. Funny thing is I just had my original console lid recovered in leather locally...oops.

I have seen several items like that over time from Latvia. Always skeptical about the quality. Glad to see I was wrong. Looks great.

thanks! I was in the same boat. Atlanticship on eBay is great for steering wheels and airbags. This guy on the console I just took a leap of faith based on his eBay feedback. Did not prove me wrong! I mean this stuff looks amazing! Better than new.

I’ve been trying to forget about this but I can’t. I guess I’ll add this to the ever growing list of this I want. The sad part is my center console is in great shape. It’s just not covered in leather great shape.

You are lucky. Mine didn't look so good...same with the trim around the driver's window switches but to fix that you have to remove the door panel which I'm not willing to attempt at this point...

I need that gas pedal mod. I’m having a hell of a time trying to heel/toe. It was much easier with the stock pedals in my M3.

New Soul sport headers and crossover, in silver ceramic coating! (Thanks to everyone and Soul and Atlanta Speedwerks for making it all work.) I'll try to get some good audio and post it here soon. Sounds awesome! [the LN/BILT deep sump pan is background. Black anodized and turning a cool purple now :-)
