Hey guys I was wondering this the other day.... For Xmas my girlfriend wanted a short shifter in her 87 325i I was going to go with the Z3 kit but then a few of you said to use the shift lever from a S54 M Coupe. I was wondering if all the parts you use are the same as the Z3 kit except the lever or is there a whole list of different parts you need to use? Any help would be much appreciated because this is going to be a Christmas present. Thank you very much!

all you really need is the shift lever. if it's for your girlfriend, i'd go with the Z3 one, as the m coupe is real short and kinda notchy into 2nd. but it is nice and tight.... it depends if you want a shifter that can be shifted lazily or not. the m coupe being the harder variant.

Yep, the Mcoupe being shorter would take more effort, but if she wants the "Short Shift" definitely go with the M-Coupe. I've got the UUC kit and I can't anything but good about it.
