What suspension are you running? I have tons of clearance at -1 degree camber. I am running BMW performance suspension and F80 style 640M wheels. They are 18x9 in the rear but I don't remember the offset at the moment.
Bilstein b12 pro kit, 18x9.5 et 23 and achillies atr sport 2 (255/35). I also think these stupid tires run big, But they are cheap and good have ran them for 5 years on other set of wheels without problems so I went with them again.

There is a diy in my build thread in the photo section and a full one on the forum if you search it. I'm on my phone now so it's hard to explain it.

So does this mean you can move the shifter without brakes and even with the car off?

I’ve been learning paint correction as a hobby. Luckily I Have a professional giving advice and information. So slowly been working on my car as I learn. Bmw paint is a hard finish, which is great, slows the cutting process, less chance of mistakes.

I suppose the next step would be to install a fake clutch pedal...

That looks pretty good. I think you should swap to the manual boot to finish off the look.

Finished my high mileage refresher on my car. Now in addition to recently changed, vac hoses and Coolant + Power steering fluid, she has fresh diff oil, engine oil, transmission fluid + mech sleeve (f*ck this thing hard). Plus spark plugs, which werent actually bad at all

Diff oil and trans fluid was surprisingly clean for a 100k car. mine only took 6 liters on refill too. And diff only took 1 which was really surprising. Lifter tick is wayyyy quieter with the new oil.

My body is mad as hell at me now for my jackstand mechanic session, but at least my wallet is happy and the car is set to go for a good while

You will not get all of the trans oil out by a simple drain & fill. You have to undo the hot line going to the trans cooler & drain all the fluid from the torque converter in order to get all of it out.
