I pursuaded Rob to put this back in production last Feb. He needed a new X5 shifter, out of stock in the US so I mailed one to him around Easter 2012. Last version was Evo 2, the new one would be the current Evo 3 design.

Product wise, I've had two UUC shifters so far - my former E30 touring and former E34 touring. Great upgrades both times. In terms of the $ to fun ratio, this is an outstanding upgrade compared to more costly things. You'll enjoy this in all conditions, climates and driving modes.

You can pre-order it NOW, just put X5 in the search field on the UUC site.

I check in with Rob every 2 to 3 months, there are a number of people who have pre-ordered it. He wants to put it in production but he is wanting to fill orders for things he has all set up.

I'm pretty confident we'll see it Q1 2013 - which works fine as I'll finally get to the bottom of my X5 upgrade list
