from RealOEM,
135
335

the actual shifter's part# is different, but everything else is the same. Which is really weird... but I'm pretty sure it is the same for both.

i think the support bracket for the shifter is different on the two cars..

Dr3K0 · 10-07-2009, 03:33 PM

Well, thats odd. Are the transmissions the same?

What is the diference on the shifter!?

damn bmw is weird, I just check the performance shifter for 135 and 335, for that, the shift lever part# is the same.

SV Concepts III · 10-07-2009, 03:47 PM

Not sure about the OEM version but the Active SSK is interchangeable between the two.

SPEZNAS92 · 10-07-2009, 04:52 PM

The support arm is different than the 335i and a new one is provided with the SSK. This is in reference to the BMW performance SSK...as for OEM or other aftermarket shifters I'm not aware.

Below is a a quote from the DIY install of the BMW Performance SSK shifter.
-Hope this Helps

If anybody has any questions let me know and I'll try to answer them as best I can.

The actual shift mechanism, or the lever, is SIMILAR. You can actually put the shift lever from a 335i in to a 135i and it'll work the same, and you'll find that most SSK that works for a 335i will work in a 135i.

This is the part that determines the shift throw:

25117581806

In the 335i, the proportions underneath the fulcrum is the same as the 135i, but the stick bends slightly to the right while the 135i stick bends slightly to the front. So on a kit like the B&M 45123, for example, it fits both the 135i and the 335i, but on the 135i the shifter sits closer to the OEM position on the 135i while on the 335i it bends closer to the driver.
