just received 1.9 Z3 Shift lever... i think its defective

Can you post a video of the "play" ?

I'm wondering if there are counterfeits out there (likely). Or, BMW's quality has just gone way, way down. my Z3 lever is from 2006, it's still solid. with a DSSR and a delrin carrier bushing there's basically no play at all.

Im pretty sure it's legit. Label reads BMW Group. It's made in France.

I want to call PP and give them some crap. They've dropped the ball with me. Why am I paying to return defective sh*t? Why don't they do a QC when they send out replacements? Lame.

I cant do video, but I'll get some photos of the problem if I have time this weekend.
