Anyone put a Z3 1.9 short shifter in the iX?

nice find! that opens up quite a few other levers for use in the ix. maybe even that Z4 3.0 lever I had..

the ix console is raised up about 1/2". I think it should work fine. I have an extra from a 2 door sitting in the parts car. want it?

I'm not certain that it's absolutely required, but I can't see why BMW would have designed a center console specific to the ix if it wasn't needed.

For what it's worth, I replaced my center console with one from an RWD car, and other than feeling like it's a "tighter" fit, it fits just fine and I haven't had any problems.
