335is short shifter redux

trionalaw · 03-08-2010, 10:06 AM

Last month I as a question about the shifter for the six speed manual in this new 3 series model. I seem to have confused a number of people about aftermarket shifters. Here is a quote from the April issue of Automobile Magazine:

Interior changes are even more subtle, with the key elements being
the M Sport steering wheel, a short shifter for manual cars,...

My question is simply this. How does that shifter differ, if at all, from the shifter in my 6 speed manual 08 E90 M3?

Thank you.

its hard to say since the M3 has a completely different gearbox

You might have better luck asking this question at E90post. You're asking a question about a 335is transmission in an M3 suspension subforum.
