RB, Make sure your using the right diagram for your application. mcurcio1989 actual shift arm is a different design..... and what UUC told him applies to his design. Its a good idea that you are replacing all those bushings. Your shift arm bushings are a higher wear/stress item similar to other BMW's. You may want the Delirin Bushings, etc. For sure now, I will need the selector arm measurements to build you a DSSR. Mine LCI version looks to be different. I may have to buy both versions of the selector rod. I bet you that's why the is no DSSR for the e53. Two versions for a low production product... its gotta make sense for them to make a profit.

No sweat on the shift arm measurements and that does make sense if the arm is different between 5 spd and 6 speed versions! Hell you can have my OEM shif lever for free once the Evo3 is in, I don't need it!
Here is my 5 speed shifter diagram from realoem for my 9/2003 build 5 speed:
I just bought 2 of the #2 bushings for the shifter arm, as Rob includes #3 and #4 in the Evo3 kit from what mcurcio is showing. Stock rubber for now, but much better than 10 year old bushings!
