In fact, the length of the lever arm below the nylon ball is the reason that the BMW kit includes a new mounting arm. The new mounting arm moves the location of the shifter bearing upwards about a half inch, such that the appropriate geometry is maintained for the shifter linkage given the increased lever arm length below the nylon ball.

Very good info, thanks!
