I really like the detail you put here, I'll consider the Z3 1.9 shift lever in the future.
So what did you do for shift mount and selector rod? Did you shorten as well as bend the rod? Use a mount from a 325? I am curious how/why some people have more clearance than others in this regard.

I shortened my selector and mount but did not add any additional bends to the rod. Maybe I should have 'half moon' bent the rod rather than cut it and then I would not have these clearance issues?
