    FS: Short Shifter (X5 3.0 lever)

    I have a brand new never installed X5 3.0 shift lever with a new bushing, four new nylon washers, and two new circlips. The X5 lever sits pretty high, but the thows are similar to that of a Z3 1.9 shifter. The lever will have to be bent to properly fit an E30.

    I was thinking $50, but will entertain offers.

      Nope, I mean X5. I can't remember who uses this setup, but I know there are at least 2 people around in the e30 forums. This is for those who want their shifter to sit higher (kinda DTMish, but not that high).

              I would also like to see this, quite curious to say the least.

                The lever is MUCH taller than stock e30 ones. The throw is comparable to that of the Z3 1.9.

                      Please keep the derogatory comments to yourself, I am just trying to sell an item I no longer need. Discouraging people from this setup really isn’t helping me.

                        Wow, you wouldn't have to move your hand as far from the steering wheel to the shift knob!

                          Bryson just installed this, and it's pretty damn nice. The knob is right next to the steering wheel. I took a picture of it with my phone, I'll get it hosted so you can see what it looks like.

                              is that the stock shift boot?


                              And someone should get this, I just paid however much bma charges (around 65) for the same thing
