Short Shifter question
So I am getting ready to purchase my E92 M3 next week , I am looking at some mods right of the bat: Huper tints, VentureS protection, still deciding if I should put a Vorsteiner VRS Carbon Fiber Aero Deck Lid Spoiler or not, anyway....
The one last mod that I am thinking of for now is the EVO3 UUC SS, now this will cost about $400 installed and in searching the forum there is just not a lot of feedback on SS's for these cars, some are doing it but many also say that the shifters on these cars are just fine and that BMW did a great job with it. I have never driven a car with one, but have always heard is not a bad mod to have on a performance oriented car. What do you guys think, am I better off spending the ~$400 on a different mod? |

A while back i started a thread complaining about the notchiness of shifting. Since then for whatever reason my shifter has been getting a lot smoother. Now that I have hit 5000 miles most of the notchiness is gone and even though the throw is still a bit long, I like it!
I have actually bought a SSK recently and am very disappointed in the quality. So my advice is, keep it stock for a couple months. If after 5000 miles you still don't like it, get an SSK. |

After 4000 miles I have gotten used to and now like the stock shifter.
I may still upgrade to a ss in the future to get rid of that rubbery feel though

I would quite like a short shifter but not sure what options there are out there?

I had Dinan SSK for my last e46 M3 and I was quite please with it. Coming from a e46 M3, I feel that the e92/90 /M3 shifts very nicely and doesnt require it as much effort than the last M3.
If ever I do it again, I'll stick with Dinan when it comes out, for just the short throw cosmetic reason, since OEM engages very well for me. I dont trust others that may cause premature wear on my tranny.

It looks like the BMW Performance short shifter knob fits the E92 M3 too...
