Time to bump it.
I am putting theory into practice.
I bought an OEM n54 135i/335i stock lever part# 25117581806. It will be combined with e46 m3 tranny mounts, a new linkage connector at the transmission and perhaps some extra yellow washers from e46/e36 to simulate dssr.
I assume the result will be: not as short throw as 128i ssk, but the lever will sit lower in the dash. So it could be a more refined 128i experience: midpoint between OEM distance and 128i ssk in throws but at the same time sitting lower and reducing diagonal distance to 5th.
My main dislike with 128i ssk was that it felt too short in a buddys car, and I actually do like to have some throw distance. My main dislike in OEM is diagonal distance to 5th and side to side play due to warn out parts ( probably one of the following: ball joint bushing, the linkage to at transmission - common fix on e36 and other models)
