It's advisable to call them first to see if they actually have it in stock and make sure you check for fitment. I don't know if a short shift kit for the earlier X5 5-spd will work on the 6-spd, but it might. Call UUC (www.uucmotorwerks.com/) to get more information.

If you look on the group buys section, lionkang was looking for people to do a group buy. Evidently, if he found enough buyers, UUC would start up a limited production of the short shift kits. But there hasn't been much response.

Hope this helps.
Asawa: EXCELLENT info...I don't see why the 5 speed short-shift wouldn't work assuming the geometry of the linkage was the same for the 5 & 6 speed. I'll contact UUC.
