I'm going to ask a really stupid question. You may have already answered this in an earlier post and I just missed it.
If the transmission came out of a 540, and the 540 uses the same engine as the X5, why aren't you able to use the shifter arm and selector rod from a 540? What's different between the 540 and X5 that's forcing you to fabricate these parts? Oh, and don't forget to put MTL in the transmission before you start it up!

I don't think any question is a stupid one!! Some answers are more obvious than others, but no real stupid questions... The difference is not the engine or trans, it has to do with the design of the transmission tunnel... The 540i uses a very tight clearance and the shifter is almost even with the top of the transmission... So the arm and selector rod are pretty much straight... The X5 engineers decided they were going to raise up the shifter location, in what seems like a sort of tower on the transmission tunnel... It may have something to do with the transfer case, but never the less, it is much higher than the top of the trans... So, the arms have to travel down on an angle... Hey!! Thanks!! I need to put MTL in my transmission!!  Cheers!!!
