What are IX'ers using for shifter mod?

there's not much else that will fit. you extend the bottom part of the lever much more than 1/2" and it will hit the transfercase.

Hmm. Guess not.

Anyone try anything out of a 5 series? How bout a e39, should have ample height.

Notchy?

My 1.9 doesnt even feel like a ss to me.

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.

I don't know what you did that made it notchy. Mine isn't even a little bit notchy.

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.

z3 1.9. Only difference I detect is what I presume is due to the replacement of all the other linkage bits.

1.9

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.
