Have you tried switching over to a shorter/weighted shift knob? I was going crazy looking for a SSK when I first got my car, but after switching over to the oem M knob I really don't think there is a need for a SSK anymore. Just some food for thought.

UUC should have the short shift kit in the next week or so... I spoke to them this week. Those who have put in a shorter BMW shift knob, it doesnt do anything compared to an actual short shift kit that reduces the distance from one gear to the other not a placebo effect like the knob that is 1" shorter than stock...

Great!!! I am checking their website daily. Can't wait to get rid of this mushy stock shifter. I had a UUC in my E46 M3 and loved it. Get the DSSR with the shifter. Definitely a "must have" mod.

I also know that the feel of the stock 6MT in the E9X feels like GARBAGE. The throws are way too long and the gearbox overall feels extremely rubbery. After changing out my shift knob/boot with an OEM M knob it feels 100 times better then stock. I no longer feel the need for a short shift kit in this car now, and I wanted to make this point so you could consider another option at least until a SSK comes out. Have you ever tried a shorter weighted knob on this car? I was giving you some advice from my own experience, not talking out of my ass. Here was a pic from my s2k from when I had a SSK and countersunk knob installed. In the end the best combination ended up being the SSK with the stock knob, but the countersunk knob with the stock shifter wasn't too far off, and it also vibrated way less.

That's a great book. The smaller knob makes a little difference. Bmw now offers a ssk for the e92, a couple people on here have it. I think i'm gonna give the B&M a try. Some say it fits, some say it doesn't, I guess i'll see first hand in a couple weeks. |

both the B&M as of 2 weeks ago were NOT e92 335i compatable out of the box. the B&M required shaving the lower end flat, and the OEM BMW one was not listed in the parts catalogue for the e92 335i.

UUC has a SSK listed now for the E90. I am going to call on monday and find out about availability for the E92 and E93 which I have. I will post if I find out anything positive.
