As far as why I did the shift arm, I guess I wanted to do a complete install, so I just ordered the BMW SSK kit which comes with everything you need. I also had access to a lift which made things much easier. I would have been a little more hesitant to do this without a lift. I only have 31k on my '09 so I didn't have much play in the lever to begin with. After the install, I did notice a decrease in throw and it takes a little bit more force to get it in gear, which I like.

Just did this. Took under an hour. Really easy, don't be afraid of doing it. I went through the top. Mine was a 2009 328xi.
Only thing I would add is: 1. Keep the orientation of the boot correct and pay attention to how far up it is on your old knob to keep it at the same height. I left it on while removing the old one, just flip it up and over the top of the shifting stalk, it will hold it. 2. No need for string or glue. I bought the C clip from tischer, it was the same model. I knocked the old one off easily, heard it hit the ground. Old one slid on just as easy and is tight. 3. Angled so the V in the shifter has the point towards the rear. The other way was off. |

I ordered my kit from the dealer and it came with a new shifter arm. I would imagine if you want the full benefit of the kit you should replace the arm as well. I looked at the arm briefly and the "mounting cup" is different than the original.

Did mine today. Took about 2 hours - working on my back and had to struggle a little bit to get the lever out of the bearing. Feels perfect. Love it.

Hey.
I've noticed not many folks with 325D (2007) that have done this modification. Currently have 25117555911 shift lever and LKNGOOD had same code lever. Was the 25110434219 short version to replace 25117555911 ? Thanks for any info. |

Mega bump! Just installed this performance kit on my 2009 335, fit great and is a huge improvement. Really one of the most enjoyable modifications I've done in a long time. Mine was from ECS Tuning, part number: 25110430357
This thread made install super simple. Can be done in well under an hour. |
