Noop. Sorry. The lady at the Welt was already giving me the evil eye when I took those interior pics - as she was showing the 1M to a VIP couple. I did not even ask her... I just opened the driver's door and took some pics. Then she locked the car back up. I was thinking later I should have sat in the car and felt the shifter. Ohh well. I think one of the "lucky ten" (who went to Leipzig) said the shifter was shorter then stock. Not sure IF that is shorter than Perf SSK or OEM. Dackel |

Here's an excerpt from what was written: "The gearshift’s throw has been shortened and the box on the car I tried was largely slick and intuitive – you can lightly flick it between gears with speed and precision. Only a couple of power downshifts from third to second on the circuit session were a bit baulky and required a firm hand (but that may be me!). The clutch is perhaps heavier but not noticeably so. The steering actually feels lighter but, as ever, doesn’t provide a whole heap of feel through the typically plump steering wheel rim. " |

IF anyone would care to measure their N55 or 1M shofter throws... I would be interested in double confirming that the shifter throws are 70mm's from 1st to 2nd gears.

I will, when a buddy returns to canada. I am stock for now debating between RE, BMP and my idea for OEM+ that may be as good as RE or UUC. UUCis too much cost, and B&M has some issues with shift knob
Btw, does ssk reduce distance to 5th gear? I really want to know if it will increase my confort with that gear shift, i dont want to move my seat

You will not need to move your seat. The side to side distance also changed some... but the pattern and spacing is still the same. Everything is just tighter, and snick snick in gear. Shifter effort is slightly higher, but that is to be expected. shifter SSK install.pdf

Ok, on my 2011 N55, I measured 1-3/4" in first and 4-1/2" in second, so 2-3/4" x25.4=70mm throw, it looks to be the same.
I then sat in my 92 Miata turbo with a short shifter, the difference there was the shifter returned to near center on angle after each shift, maybe sloppy but in location, so the movement was about 40 mm between each shifts, really short, grab it and ram it into gear even with a glove on.
