That is the $300 kit from BMW for 135i until 2010/2011. Dack should have a part number is his thread that he linked to. Or you can search his Started threads from 2010ish.

Wow that is close
So your semi-bent 128i SSK has 2,4,6 is simmilar to my level
But your 1,3,5 is further away from the console than mine.
I'd say mine is about 8mm longer than to your throw (measured from Dack's standard bottom of shift knob)

For me to bend n54 lever to the same center as you, it would be ever so slightly longer than yours.

In any case I recommend anyone to reach out to your local SSK installed 1 or 3 series owner to get a feel for the short 50-60mm throws and make a personal decision. That is how I decided on my path.


PS @Kgolf31 what is the phone mount you are using?
Did you chop off the entire Cup holder or have you done what I did and made one of the sides a support stand for the phone holder?
