This a better option. I bought one from this guy and put it in my E30. Very nice. It looks just like the B&M racing version. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RACIN...QQcmdZViewItem | | | | | 02-18-2007, 08:00 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |

It's not that bad. I've replaced the shifter on the ti and the E30 several times without removing anything. The little clips that go on the end of the rod that goes through the bottom of the shifter can be a little tricky, but it's not that hard. | | | | | 02-18-2007, 09:52 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |

pelican parts has this page on installing short shifters for cheaper than custom kits by using parts off other bmws.

Im gonna just pay the extra money.. least i know its a 60% reduction.. that one for $20 could be less of a reduction.. and Cosmo is a brand I trust. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti

This thing scares the hell out of me.
I followed the link to ebay. If I understand the pictures correctly, what this thing does is simply bolt an extension to the bottom of your shift rod. Is that right? If so, I wouldn't want to be driving when the bolt loosens up (and it will). You won't be able to grab any gear. Happy towing! | | | | | 02-21-2007, 08:36 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |
