with E60 550i SSK Lever: 57mm.

Bear in mind, the 550i lever raises the top of the knob about an inch higher than the stock lever did.
Throws feel super short and positive!

Now I just need to take it out again to un-bend it so neutral is in the center of the gate...
Great! I really love my 550i shifter installed on my e39/540i. Even though the throw must be close to the Perf SSK on my 135i... the 55i shifter just feels better to me. I don't know what it is... but I really like the 550i shifter.

Yep, now you know what I meant about bending the shift lever so it sits right in the 135i.

take care,
