Journey In A Breadbox: My '97 M3/4/5

Do the transmission linkage “knuckle” when you do the shifter bushings. It’s only $25 and it’s the source of half of the play in the linkage. That and carrier arm bushings (around the bitch clip) and you’ll be good. That might be the most satisfying mod on your list.

Sadly, only #2 and #3 below were replaced!

Did help shift feel though!

Archie, I don’t know how you like those Vader seats. They have to be the most uncomfortable seats I ever sat in :lol

I always sit bolt upright, they have been comfortable for me. I don’t like the fact they are so heavy, but they are already the manual ones. Any OEM replacement would be heavy too.

@bennyfizzle

do brake lines and clutch line at the same time, bleed only once. you swapping your subframes over from the 325?

Will be doing brake lines and clutch line at the same time, no problem bleeding at the same time, just use maH third lEG yO

Diff itself was swapped out, not the entire subframe. M3 bushings did not need any help!

Doing more work on this car on Thursday, will post pics.
