Good question. It was the ZHP shift knob in fact that was on RobM's car. Personally, I prefer a taller shift knob, with a reduction in shift throw. However, coming from an MR2 where every "tuner" was putting in crazy sunken shifter kits, the ZHP + AS SSK is still plenty high
This is how I would do the breakdown using a 0-5 scale (0 being ridiculously low shift knob/base ; and 5 being half a foot in length above the shift boot)
stock E46 M3 shifter --> 4
stock Z4M shifter --> 4
Z4M + ZHP shift knob --> 3.5
Z4M +stock shift knob + AS SSK --> 3
Z4M + ZHP shift knob + AS SSK --> 2.5

stock s2k shifter --> 2.75
MR2 + sunk shift kit --> 0

Hope that helps =/
