Short Shift Kit and regrets anyone?
I am looking into getting a short shift kit (uuc or rogue) for my 1M.
Has anyone installed a short shift kit and had regrets? Feedback appreciated thanks. |

+1 on this post.
For daily driving the stock setup is really a good mix of positive feedback and easy throws. Not sure if I'd want to give that up but an SSK is on my mod list. Feedback.... |

Me too! I love my Performance SSK. And if you order all the parts separately you save some bucks. The SSK is a must have mod I think.
FYI... shifter throws... N54 = 80 mm's N55 = 70 mm's Perf SSK(N54) 55 mm's.

Went to my dealer yesterday. The factory SSK is 342, VAT excluded. Work time should be less than one hour. But there is a problem: at my dealer, they keep saying that the kit is intended for 135/335, but not for 1M. Don't we have the same gearbox as these ?

There was a thread where someone installed the Perf SSK on a 1M a few weeks ago. It worked. You might try searching for it. N54 135i = 80 mm's shifter throws N55 & 1M = 70 mm's shifter throws N54 Perf SSK = 55 mm's shifter throws

I have the Rogue kit... and I´m not sure if I like it...
The kit does its job, very short shifts, but the shifts are now harder... to select the reverse even more harder, you need a strong wrist... I don't know if the exchange of comfort to sportiveness worth in this case. Or, I´m really getting old! |

The stock throws are pretty damn good (especially by stock E92 M3 and E46 M3 standards) with minimal effort and reassuring feel. I have yet to drive a better all around stock setup on the 1M aside from the new 991 Porsche. Looking to go for an SSK but do not want to ruin the simple yet effective stock shift setup. Hmm decisions.. EDIT: I don't want notch city |

No need to fix a problem which doesn't really exist. Stock throws and feel are close to perfect. I'll see if a CDV delete make it even better and that's about it for me.

Here is Rogue Engineering 1M SSK. It back dates the shifter arm/carrier to the N54 unit. That in part is why its so much money. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=637414 Turner Motorsports SSK... its just the lever but its adjustable... http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-12...2-1m-2011.aspx I also see no reason why you couldn't just order the BMW Perf shift lever(like the part in the Turner kit) and install that. That ought to give you 90% of the short shifter for very little money(~$70) Bmw 1m short throw shift kits http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=633647 I still couldn't find the thread I was originally thinking about. I remember someone installed JUST the Perf SS lever from the Perf SSK in a 1M. I see no reason why this would not work. And it should give you 90% of the short shifter feel for very little money.
