I have even made a rudimentary comparison via photoshop (I will dig up this pic later). X5 X3 n52 manual stick is way too long above the ball joint for my goal RE SSK for 328i is most expensive & high quality SSK and never fitted to a 128i, only one 328i has it B&M ssk has problems with shift knob staying in place BMS kit didnt exist, but its UUC clone, was too risky in length for my goal e60 lever is wrong shape and will sit funny as one person e90post found out 130i/330i lever is even shorter throw than 128i long causes issues. 128i/328i SSK lever is longer above ball joint than stock stick I started to do research on the the levers available and made some discoveries: This obsession began with sitting in the summer of 2012 in a 128i with the OEM 128i 328i SSK we all know and noticing that is is very short and in my opinion so short that it defeats the purpose of a manual car that will not be raced/tracked often to really benefit from super short shifts. So in my pursuit to modify the shifter to be more enjoyable while still preserving all that is good about the 128i/328i stock feel I had to go a different path than a e8x 128i/e9x 328i SSK.
