          You wouldnt think that would be required for OE wheels on a 10+ year old car

            Wheel locks will not guarantee that wheels don't get stolen. They are pretty easy to remove.

                  Why no 1.9L Z3 or any of the Z4 shifters? Those have the shortest throws

                    Why is the e46 328 threaded?

                      Don't know, and don't know. Guess I never really looked into shifters much, because I didn't even realize they were all interchangable. Also curious about the threads, and why there are 3 different e46 shifters...

                        Judging by the length of the bottom portions, I'd think the list goes bottom to top. Can anyone verify this?

                          The ball is the pivot point so you want to look above that to properly judge the throw.  It's in the correct order.

                            If the part below the ball is longer, the throw should be shorter as well.

                              ^^ this is correct.

                              For reference, the e36 M3 shifter is perfect for the e39 540i in my opinion. It made a huge difference in short crisp shifts without too short of a throw or too much effort.

                                        Beer. If you know me, then you know that I love it.

                                        I've been drinking a lot of IPAs a few years now. In the past year or two I've started to gravitate towards pilsners, yet somehow I've never tried this one. It's the best.

                                        On a related note: my roommate bought me a "Mr. Beer" home-brewing kit, and I think I've caught the bug... Watch for a "Follies/Joys of home-brewing" OT thread to be opening soon...

                                        -Cheers

                                          I am not a fan of Pils at all.  I've had that one and it's one of the better but I still can't drink them.
