F10 535 6MT M Performance Carbon & Alcantara Shifter

Quick and easy mod here that made my car more fun to drive. I replaced the standard manual shifter with the M Performance shifter. It's shorter, weightier and has the carbon and alcantara. Replacement time is about 5 minutes. $190 @ getbmwparts.com

Thanks. When you say it's shorter you mean the height? Not the throw?

Correct, shorter in height. Because of that, the throws 'feel' shorter - but nothing has changed under the shifter knob, so that's just a perception thing. But a good thing...

+1. I haven't felt that way in years, stopped driving stick when I got my first SUV in '04. Modern autos are so good, and I do too much stop and go, live in the burbs... Haven't really looked back. But these pics make me miss it all of a sudden lol.

It's never too late, don't give up

As for the new shifter, I'm trying really hard to like it, in fact have looked at the same one myself, but personally I prefer the look of stock setup.
