I have a B&M short shifter(race version) like the pros use! It is a lot shorter throw than stock, feels good and easy to install.

I see a lot of UUC shift kits on peoples mods list around here.

ssk are way over priced and way over rated. 500 bucks for 40% throw reduction... i bought a cheap ssk (lever) from megan racing on HPF. you won't feel 500 bucks different minus your pants being light trust me. just my 2 cents

I agree with you! Those prices are ridiculous. Question about the Megan Racing SSK-
- At the top where the knob goes, is it a threaded or is it grooved as for a stock knob to fit over it?
- Also, what does it include? Is it just the lever or does it also have the bushings for the pivot ball?
- Does the knob sit any lower?

Thanks for the help! My mouse is hovering over the Order Button

.

NOTE- Quite interesting how on the HPF site, if you search Shifters by Car Make and Model (BMW 328i for me), only the UUC $355 unit comes up. But if you search by brand (Megan Racing) and look at the applications for their Shifter Kits... HELLO!!!! "(96-00) BMW 328 includes i,Ci,is $45.00 " . Good research xixixi

It has been ordered! Lets see how it goes. Thanks xixixi

NP install was cake and it's exact oem fitment. worth 45 bucks imo not 500

grats on your ssk yes the lever is a lil shorter.

i say go z3/z3m shifters. they are oem and not too short.

Theres a thread on here that goes into the different lengths of the stock shifters. I got mine from a E60 545 with a ZHP weighted knob, and i love it.
