branabolic, I agree. BMW is about connection to the road and the stock shifter is a bit barrier to that in my opinion.

Have you moved that knob around in gear? Mine was very sloppy and lose!

Enjoy.

Orion, thanks! I have so many mods to my drivetrain that I am enjoying now. The break in period is killing me because I am ready to drive this baby!

Everyone I met at UUC was very knowledgeable, highly recommend the ssk. by far the best mod I have done to my car!

We are lucky in the BMW world. The car is an incredible machine stock, but at the same time there is room for improvement. I agree this is a "must" mod.

CDV is long gone on my car. It helps, but I am now convinced the luggy stock flywheel is the cause for a lot of the rev matching jerkiness that comes with this car. At around 35 lbs it really hurts the drivability of this car IMO. It is quiet, but it hurts the driveability.
