It's a check valve in the clutch hydraulic line that lets fluid flow freely to the slave cylinder but slows the return journey.
This way you can disengage the clutch fast, but it will engage slowly(ish). The object is to prevent warrantee claims against BMW if you tear the car in half doing a whole-shot. Now see here.

Welcome and congratulations. I agree with KevinC, the stock car is pretty sweet and will likely retain value better than heavily modded versions given the rarity. That said, cars are bad investments for the most part, so have at it!
I'm (as I'm sure you guessed) a stock kind of person, but a CDV delete and replacing the stock shift knob with a ZHP version (http://leatherz.com/category/Knobs.html) are sure bets. I still can't get over the difference these two simple and cheap mods make (not to mention that the stock knob is prone to coming off during spiriting driving). Why do you feel you are taking a risk on the M coupe? Given that prices are currently if anything appreciating, you can flip it if not to your liking without much (if any) financial penalty.

Which shift knob do you suggest? The short shifter? Do they all light up? Does the stock one light up or something? I would definitely prefer if it didn't come off in my hand while driving lol. Thanks again everyone... I spend my free time clicking on links and thinking about what I'll have to do to the car etc. At some point I should probably plan my route back. |

I purchased the illuminated ZHP knob (http://leatherz.com/product/IllumZHPShiftKnob.html). The OE knob does light up. If illumination doesn't matter to you, the ZHP non-illuminated knob is half the price ($70). I were buying one now I'd consider the F10 (http://leatherz.com/product/F10M5IllumKnob.html) as the illumination is more defined to the shift pattern. This was not available when I bought mine.

For a car that there isn't "much out there"... I sure spent $20k+ pretty easily
Forced induction (G-Power, ESS, VF Engineering) Exhaust (Arqray, Rogue, Eisenmann, Supersprint, Remus, Stromung, Euro headers, AA headers...) Intake (AFE, RPI scoop, Evolve, Gruppe M) Suspension (TC Kline, KW, Ground Control, Bilstein, H&R, AST...) Wheels/tires, gearing swaps, cosmetic mods, and so on. Lots to do.

The F10 M5 shift knob is what I have. It's weighted so the feeling of shifting is a little better, and the lighting inside is improved from the stock Z4M knob. Its not too much brighter, but a lot more evenly lit. It will come with the boot for the M5 and you can either cut it off like I did, or use the shift boot ring from the Z4 and keep the M5 boot. It takes a little work to make it happen, but either way looks good. It's a simple mod to do too and looks and feels much better.

I love simple little improvements to the interior. One of the first mods I did on my Cayenne was to swap out the steering wheel with a custom thicker alcantara/leather with red stitching and a red CF 12 o'clock ring to better match the interior. I'll definitely be messing with the Z4's knob and wheel.
Hit my first snag... the current owner didn't have the car's registration up to date because he's been traveling out of the country so much. My bank won't issue me a check until he goes and does this... and the earliest he can do it is next Wednesday since he's in D.C. right now. That's cutting it close since I'm supposed to fly out Friday! Stress level rising.... lol Heres a pic of my cayenne wheel |

Have you got your hands on the MC's steering wheels yet? I don't think there's much out there that's better to warrant a swap (unless you want to re-wrap it with other materials).

Got it...from your previous post, it sounded like you wanted to swap out the steering wheel on your new ride (MC)

I'm afraid to say "congrats" until you actually have the car... :-)

Very Nice!
Congrats!
I think that is my favorite color for Z4s. I couldn't find one in decent shape when I was looking for mine so I got the second best color. Enjoy it in good health!
