Best Short Throw Shifter for N55

N55_NOLE · 06-11-2011, 02:09 PM

Given the quality concerns some members have been expressing about products purchased from UCC and the fact that the BMW Performance SSK apparently doesn't fit the N55, what SSKs are my fellow N55 owners running? I was really happy with the length of the shifts on my 2011, but after driving a fellow members 2008 with a SSK I realized there is huge room for improvement. Thanks in advance for your input!

TBH the N55 shifter is perfect, same one as the 1M, just a different knob.

I felt the same way until I drove a fellow members n54 with ssk. His throws were easily half as long as mine and so much cleaner. Now I'm almost wishing I never did, especially because no one seems to have an answer!

I have a SSK coming for my N55, hope to get it installed late next wk... won't talk much about it until I get it though!

Will keep you updated.
