I don't know about the 128i SSK. But here are the throw specs for the 135i/1M...
N54 =
80mm throws
N54 w/Perf SSK =
55mm throws
N55 (& 1M) =
70mm throws
25mm's doesn't sound like a big difference... but the feel (shifter)change is HUGE!
Your shifting effort will increase somewhare (bc you have less of a fulcrum effect) but what I like about the Perf SSK is that is works smoothly, every shift. I think that is something that can not be said for the aftermarket kits. Typically you have issues with 1st or reverse gear selections. Not with the Performance SSK. Back when my shifter was stock... sometimes it felt like my finger tips would be hitting the plastic trim bellow the AC controls. Not any more now with the Perf SSK!
PS: Perhaps someone with a 128i w/Perf SSK can measure their shifter throws. ?
