Maybe a short shifter would have helped but i didnt try it.
my understanding is that the SSK kits just made the throws short and still rubbery....and didn't help the whoe 1-2 shift. It annoyed the shit outta me everyday....that and having to feather the gas/ clutch action to get around that CDV. Whatever...i just owe money out my ass for the next 5 years. Alteast i am happy

I mean if you're really considering filling in the holes, then may as well get a full body kit, wheels, suspension, spoiler, BBK.

Pretty sure it does. But the actual shift between gear to gear in the M3 gear box sooooo much easier.

I just ordered tiers for my 19's . I got 235/35/r19's for the front and 275/30/r19's for the rear.. I got a killer deal on ebay. I got all tires brand new shipped for just under $600. The arent the best tires money could buy. But I dont have to worry about potholes or really and fucked up roads down here so im sure they will work great. I aslo just ordered The AC style CF rear window spoiler and trunk spoiler, and a CF engine cover. I will post pics once I get all the parts and have them and the rims mounted.

Yeah When I test drove the m/t M3 a few weeks ago, I could definitely tell the difference in the way the tranny shifts, compared to mine.

Does anyone know why in other countries the 335i gets the M-DCT transmission while the U.S still gets the regular auto transmission?

Also I haven't been keeping up so what's up with BMW dealers flagging your car if it's chipped? Are they still voiding warranties or what's going on with chipped cars.

That's not uncommon on cars with any sort of variable valve timing, if you drive them hard they can burn a little oil. Keep in mind the old standard for oil changes was every 3k miles, now that cars are going longer it gives a larger window to burn a little bit. My S2k burns about 1/2 qt. every 6k miles, I'd say a quart or less in 6k is acceptable.
