Tell you what this thing really takes some getting used to (in a good way). Sometimes I cant even tell what gear im in now just by putting my hand on the shifter and feeling where it is; I actually have to look sometimes lol. 4th almost could pass as neutral haha which was why I made the comparison vids. Eventhough people took pics It was hard for me to tell what was what sometimes even if they labeled it. Now I understand why. The dist. is so short the position dosent change much. But I definitely like it. Just have to get used to it

I will say it is weird looking down and being in forth but it looks like neutral and fools you. Which is why I said I somethines have to look now because I cant tell by just putting my hand on it. But after driving today for the second day Im becoming much more comfortable with it and I enjoy the much shorter throw. Its literally a flick of the wrist so effortless. I think after a weeks time Ill be completely adjusted to it. Already felt more natural driving it today as apposed to yesterday. Go ahead and throw it on man. Worst case scenario you hate it and you can just throw your stock shifter right back on

just get a weighted shift knob.. IT definitely makes the throws cleaner and faster.. i like short throws, but the n55 isnt bad atall, so the weighted will make it feel alot quicker.. |

You did quote me haha. And my knob is weighted. I have the BMW performance shift knob. Did you see in my videos on page 3?

Has anyone gone ahead and tried this on an N54?
On my 318ti, I did the entire change to a Z3M shifter which involved what seems to be more work. I read through this entire thread and it seemed that this was only done on N55. Now I've only owned my N54 for a total of two days, but I completely miss my short throws. Is there any reason that I am missing on why this can't be done/attempted on my N54? -Adam |

I think I am still going to try this out on my N54. I'm going to be a cheap ass and save $30. I'm ordering the parts right now and report back once I get it installed! =========================== Just checked Tisher for prices. Turns out the N54 perf. short shifter is CHEAPER than the e90 perf. ss. Maybe later down the road I'll pick up a e90 PSS and really drop the shift throw.

I always had the intention to install a SSK, but I'm happy with the stock N55 throw, much nicer than Audi/VW stick.

Gonna refer back to Post #53 when I install my short shift lever next week.
e90 parts sounds kinda ridiculous. Went with the 25110434217 128i part. Will try to get measurements before and after, and hoping it doesn't move positioning too far forward (e90) or off to the side (e60). I don't want to have to bend it - particularly once I get it installed. Should go nicely with ZHP knob, CDV Delete, BMS clutch stop, 335is pedals and UCP - which I've been enjoying for over a year now.
