UUC SSK for 328xi??

colosy · 09-08-2009, 04:02 PM

Can someone tell me which UUC short shifter would work on an e90 328xi??

I didn't get much of a difference with the OEM SSK so I want to try the UUC.
Thanks!

they've got nothing for us man. i asked them when i bought their shift knob. xi's are a pain to make/install ssk's for so they don't really put any r&d into it. what i did was oem 328i ssk lever (might wanna run the 330 lever since it'll actually be shorter) and the uus rk8 w/ leather. the results were shorter throws and easier, less notchy shifts. i love it

weird... I had no idea an SSK would be specific to the type of drivetrain we have. Its just connecting to the transmission isn't it? I don't see how the connection would be any different even if the transmissions were.

iirc it was something w/ the transfer case or something or the exhaust is in the way of the install. Call them n ask I guess.... I'm content w/ the oem lever at a fraction of the cost though

haha, yeah I have the Msport lever and its a little smaller/faster shift than the stock one.

Interesting. I have the BMW SSK but didnt notice very much difference in throw distance and it is still just as notchy it seems. Would the OEM non-xi (ie. 330i) lever have better performance than the BMW performance one? That would be strange..

its just shorter so it doesn't sit as high. idk if its actually better. btw i didn't notice much of a difference before and took it for granted till i drove my friend's car w/ out a ssk. it def makes a difference by comparison
