I don't like the feel or sound of it. I've done OEM short shifters in the past and have been very happy. This one doesn't feel very refined.

Great looking car!!
Previous owner spent a ton of money and time on it till his wife got sick of it taking room in the garage. Bought it for a song. Now if we don't get it done my wife will make me do the same. Too many cars needing attention

167,000 Kms/103,000 miles. I'm hoping the M3 bits will help tighten things up a bit. Car already has Mperformance suspension, E92 M3 fsb, Dinan rear shock mounts and Whiteline subframe bushings. Haven't done any power mods yet and won't till I get the chassis working just right.
