Now that I'm happy with the short shifter, I used a smaller zip-tie to secure the top of my new shift boot, and RTV'd the knob in place:

So much fun, I ride around a gear high just to blipshift down at every opportunity.
YES! I do this constantly too (especially with the shorter diff ratio). Some of my friends roast me with how much I downshift revmatch when I come to a stop

I'm always open to ideas if it looks cool! Do you have any suggestions on color/texture?

Also the clutch stop is 100% gonna be worth it. The 128i I drove without a CDV delete and clutch stop was a bit.. difficult since I was so used it having them.

I honestly like my cherry as well. Fits very well with the beige. It might be an 'old person' color scheme but I find it the smoothest, visually.
