Got CarlyBMW and registered a new battery. Went cheap and just got an H8-DL from Autozone. My old battery still worked (it was from the factory!) but it had its moments where it struggled. Figured it'd just be a good idea to swap it before it bites me in the ass.

Also got a few neat features enabled. 5 blink when you do a soft/half-click on the blinker, disabling the seatbelt warning so I can put my backpack on the passenger seat, etc. It's nice to have a BMW OBD scanner now, in case anything goes wrong.

Spent way too much money for an OBD2 scanner and a battery swap, but such is life when you drive a German car.

The ZHP knob is great as well! Had to remove that plastic clip and hold the boot up with a ziptie (on the inside, trust me you wouldn't notice) but I can't believe what I was missing. The weight decreased the effort required to shift, so now I'm almost 100% back at the original "weight", but with much shorter shifts.
