BMW use to offer a Performance SSK but they have stopped producing it.

I suspect a 128i Performance shift lever would give you 90% of the SSK feel shorter throws. But no one has posted that they have installed one.

I have the Perf SSK on my 135i and love it! But I also drive an e39 540i 6speed as my dailey and two years ago I installed the factory shifter from an e60 550i manual... that shifter is pure joy!! Really tighter throws and feels great - except on a cold day for the first few shifts... it can be quite notchy. But I LOVE it over my 135i Perf shifter.

One forum members tjswarbrick was able to install the e60 skifter in his 135i with some bending of the shift lever. It's easy to do if you have some hand tools and a vice.

IF you decide on going with the 128i SSK... please post some pics of your install and your thoughts. It would be helpful to others going down this path.

see post #80...

calling all 6MT SSK guys...
