The 25-11-7-581-806 part is the OE shift lever. NOT a SSK part.



Perf SSK parts needed:

25110434218 schaltarm/shift arm - 121 euros
25110434217 schalthebel/shift arm-lever - 55 euros
25111220600 lager schalthebel/plastic bearing for lever - 7 euros
25117571899 scherungsclip/safety clips (two needed) - 1 euros

18307553603 dichtung/exh gaskets ( two needed) - 19 euros for two.

total cost: 203 euros + 89 euros labor for the install = 292 euros



IF you wanted to do a SSK on a real budget... I guess you could just do the shift lever and a new bushing from the above kit:

25110434217 schalthebel/shift arm-lever - 55 euros
25111220600 lager schalthebel/plastic bearing for lever - 7 euros


But... the BMW SSK is such a great designed package... I would highly suggest you spend the extra bucks on the entire kit I listed above. The shift lever is soooo nice and tight. The shifting effort is slightly higher... but that is to be expected. I have NO TROUBLE engaging gears. Not even reverse like with some SS kits. And the shift pattern is still in the same arrangement and plane. Nothing has changed, just that you don't have to move the shifter as far back and fourth to change gears.

I would rate this FIVE out of FIVE stars for a fun mod! Its really a fantastic mod! Right up there with the CDV delete mod.
