Question 128i peeps w/Performance SSK...

Can someone with a 128i please post their shifter's throw distance? Measuring from 1st gear to 2nd gear throws.

N54 = 80mm throws
N54 w/Perf SSK = 55mm throws
N55 (also includes 1M's) = 70mm throws


I would like to know how long are the throws on a 128i stock shifter AND for a 128i with the Performance Shifter.

Thanks,
Dackel

Can you show exactly how you're measuring the throws for the sake of consistency? I can measure my Performance SSK tomorrow.

If you pull the shifter off, probably from the center of the top of that metal piece

Basically, I used a measuring tape next to the shift lever and looked at how far the throws were from 1st to 2nd gears. I just used the center of the shift knob's silver ring, as a reference point.

interesting enough, I found this thread where a forum member used a N54 shift lever in his 128i to get SSK effect.

Measuring from the middle of the metal ring like you did, I'm about a 50+mm throw from 1st to 2nd gear. Hard to be exact, though.
