I don't like his big ball knob. I prefer mine, it's longer and thinner.

I'm glad you hate it
Was pretty darn worse before, believe me. I could have spent ages trying to find a decent but more than likely costly replacement, I didn't like the OEM shape either as I'm used to my CTR stick and the SAAB is a big gay auto. This was cheap enough and feels much better, plus I quite like it becasue my imagination > my education.
Will be keeping an eye out for something nicer, but the gear change feels so much nicer
Been reading this section for a while now, thought I'd post a picture of my current car before joining into future threads.
It's the 2.7 version, didn't want to stretch to the 3.2 at the time of purchase. Also got a 2002 E46 320D Tourer with 150k on the clock, not the most photogenic car, but will post if interested.

Clean, but cold ¬_¬

Cold out there today, was interesting to say the least!
Also fitted these aluminium belled discs the other day, AP 304mm up front and EP 288mm on the rear with Carbon Lorraine pads. The difference over standard is awesome, hardly any effort needed to haul the car down from speed and they work better than OEM from cold

Pirelli Snowports/Sottozeros, awesome in low temperatures that we have from late Nov to Feb/March and can actually clear standing water

Looks cool mate Good old varying shades of red though, I was quite used to that when I had my Corsa
Good old varying shades of red though, I was quite used to that when I had my Corsa Yeah, red is quite a hard colour to match.
The rear drivers door looks brighter than the rest of the car but it's the rear arches that are documented as having had a respray
It's not bad to drive though. Quite nice coming from something that has naff all power, I've missed the turbo kick! The gearbox is from an 820 Vitesse (short 1-4, long 5th) which means that even though the boost is set quite low and the engine only producing 170ish bhp, it rips through 1st, 2nd and 3rd quite well yet retains the long 5th for good economy on the motorway.

Looks quite smart that! You should sort out the rusty patch on the rear arch in line with the rub strip though
And I bet that bit of skirting/trim at the back of the sill is a nice dirt/moisture trap!
