Any progress on this? I would be very interested, as I am not a big Alcantara fan, and miss the thick leather steering wheels from my previous M3s.
Thanks!
Man that loctite crap was a bitch! Almost broke my wrist taking off the stock shift knob...pretty much ruined it too. That's OK, as I will be keeping this knob for as long as I have the car, and can always get a new stock one to bring it back to bone stock.
I have been a long time BMW and Audi driver, most recently both e92 and F80 M3's.
I would agree with what many here have stated, BMW has lost their edge with the M. While my DCT F80 was an absolute beast in a strait line, it also felt numb and a bit boring to drive much of the time. Although...
Love it. BMW is becoming a bit over-engineered, and less fun to drive. The GT350 reminds me of my V8 e92 M3....and loads better than the F80 that I just got out of. I put over 4 grand into that exhaust, and could not make it sound good.
The GT350 is just as fast, sounds so much better...
