    anybody recognize this shift lever?

    Got an e30, came with a short shifter installed, I'm just curious what kind it is.
    Thanks!

      Hm, looks to be ebay. Only way would be to remove and compare to photos or look for part # or Manufacture stamp. Why does it matter? I think it looks to be ebay junk, but I could be wrong. I would just buy a z3 shifter and replace the bushings and washers. If you want to go that route PM me I will send you a link to a site that is cheaper than BMW.

        Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

          It is definitely not ebay... and it is made to fit BMW shifter knob. Not B&M, UUC, nor anything else I've seen. That weight right under the knob, let's me know that, whichever company built it, put thought into it.

              it's one piece, and machined not cast.

              And it doesn't really matter, I just like to know what's on my car.

                I should also add that there was a five year old receipt in the glovebox for installation of the short shifter and clutch stop, but it doesn't list a source or price of the parts.

                And it still feels tight five years later, so I Don't think It's eBay crap.

                  So do you like it? If so don't worry about it as it's kinda trivial until you need to rebuild it. Enjoy it with a smile.

                    Looks like the uuc 1-piece race shifter.



                    But i dont know how "new" this shifter is.

                      That sure looks like it, and today I noticed the clutch stop (that was installed at the same time) says uuc on it. So you're probably right about it being the race shifter.

                        Yes, definitely a UUC Race Shifter. 1-piece billet stainless steel.
