Calling all vendors.... SSK NEEDED

!Xoible · 04-30-2008, 10:30 AM

any word on ssk for the M3? UUC, AA, Rogue, anyone????

would be nice if we can get a shorter lever but be able to keep the stock shift knob

I agree with you, the OEM leather boot and knob look much cleaner and subtle. I was able to shorter the height and the throw of my 6MT e46 M3 using Dinan SSK. So if you dont mind Dinan, it may be available now, I was able to shorten it by .5 inch. I complemented it with a EVO DSSR4 and took out the indirect shift linkage, making it direct link to the tranny gear. So maybe the same principle applies to the e92.

i dont care what it is... i want anything that's available. im very tempted to try lever from 335....

ase2dais · 04-30-2008, 10:48 AM

call BMW parts and let us know, Im eager to find out myself. Coz that would be one of the first Mod I do for a e93 M3 alongside the Aluminum Pedals

good luck

Did you sell you RSGT BBS, I love steel that Steel Grey M3 Coupe

First and foremost Mantis, do you feel the stock is too long?

yes. the lever is very awkward when u try to drive fast. i feel it's getting in my way for sure. im *hoping* ssk will make shifting into 2nd easier in terms of shoving the lever into gear

SS32 · 04-30-2008, 12:06 PM

My UUC SSK made the lever taller in my E46. I thought that was true for just about all of them.

!Xoible · 04-30-2008, 12:11 PM

true for UUC ssk, but the throw is significantly shorter with it than stock. UUC design is usually more complex than just a shorter lever but it works great

edlms · 04-30-2008, 12:49 PM

i swapped my stock knob for a shorter oem one from a regular 3 series and i'm actually quite pleased with it. it shortens the distance the hand moves and feels much better imho...
but i still want a ssk...

cheers

schnell325 · 05-05-2008, 02:54 AM

SSK is much needed. No offense to the BMW folk, but relative to my E36 SSK and the STi SSK, it feels like the grain trucks I grew up driving. Again, NO OFFENSE, but it should have been the "SSK" way from the factory.

Vendors????

badfish · 05-05-2008, 03:43 AM

I'm surprised people are content with the long throw on the E92 M3, it took me a while to get used to. I also read a lot of posts that complain about the shifter being notchy and it is anything but notchy, way too smooth I think. I'd be interested in a short shifter and a heavier knob that stays lit up.

KonigsTiger · 05-05-2008, 11:59 AM

So which is the best KKS kit out here? How much?

haha no problem

edlms · 05-05-2008, 01:08 PM

but kks seems to have a short shifter kit. if you take a look at the thread about the kks exhaust, at the end of the clip, they state they have a SSK...

can anyone find out more?

thanks.

cheers

KonigsTiger · 05-05-2008, 01:10 PM

I'll try and see if I can find one that is available!!

!Xoible · 05-05-2008, 01:11 PM

just saw this... at the bottom of the page... SSK available...

cheers

BRDHNTR · 05-05-2008, 01:53 PM

I agree that this car needs a SSK. I probably wouldn't have thought so if I had driven an e46 M3 before and after a SSK install. What a huge difference. So if anyone out in Cali wants to make the sacrifice, maybe we can get B&M to start making them.
