It is a B&M style "race" shifter meaning it has the blue anodized "ERK" thing that raises the pivot ball (thats the B&M part) and no rubber isolator in the shifter itself (the "race") part.
Seems decent enough if you were indeed going to use it in a race car like it is, but I only purchased it for the anodized riser piece, and plan to use a Z4 or X5 3.0 shifter in place of the solid ebay shifter. HOPEFULLY the pivot balls are the same size.
This one, if i installed it, would rattle and vibrate like hell since there is a definite gap between the shifter and pivot ball itself (they are a two-piece assembly). for a true race car probably nobody would care, and the rattling is probably fixable with a thin bushing or washer between the circlip and pivot ball, OR by taking it apart, smearing some epoxy on the shifter shaft, then putting the pivot ball back on it.
The pivot ball is nice and tight in the riser "cup" thing itself, and HOPEFULLY its the same size or close enough to the BMW sized balls (HEH :P)
ps this was like $25 on ebay, while you cant even buy the UUC ERK seperately anyway (comes with $160 DSSR kit or their EVO SSK which is like $300).
