I was reading another post on shifter mods on e30's. Lots of info but not many IX opinions. Are most guys running the z3 1.9? 2.8? going to the z4's? Whats the plan? M roadster? I'm not into the real hard, notchy throw.

had the z3 shifter in my old iX and hated it. Too notchy for me. I love the stock linkage mated up w/ the weighted ZHP knob. The height, feel, and smoothness is perfect imo.www.instagram.com/snwmble

the stock ix lever has the longest throw of basically any BMW. I hated it. the Z3 1.9 is about the only one that will clear the transfercase, and the lever is still basically the same height except it has slightly less leverage on the other end.

I've always heard horror stories from people trying it with out removing anything. Now I haven't dine it yet but from what I've read it deans like most people drop the exhaust and rear driveshaft and transmission mount and just lower everything as much as possible. If you do it from the top please let me know ill give it try then, I've been waiting till my clutch went out then just doing it then haha
