2005 6 speed here.
Do any of the OE shifters work in the X5 (ala Z3/M3 shifter in E30) or is this shifter too far from a match for something that is OE and shorter throw? |

Well, the saga continues. The wife has been complaining about it popping out of 2nd quite often. I have also noticed the syncros are worn on 2nd and 3rd, so it looks like the 'box will be out and a rebuild is on the way. I am now in search of an aftermarket rebuild kit, as to buy the parts genuine from BMW Australia is cost prohibitive. I have searched for a kit on the web and registered on bimmerfoums and I still come up empty handed. My brain hurts. I have all the tools and experience to do this, I just cant push the right buttons on the keyboard to find the parts.
BTW, nice to meet you racebmwm3, I wish I had a 6 speel. LOL. |

Welcome and thanks for posting! Where in Jersey are you at? Jealous of your "bonus cog" with the 6 speed. And as far as short shifters go, you're stuck. There was a thread about UUC making a custom run for the 5 speeds I believe, but its damn near close to 400 bucks and it's almost been a year and still no one has reported taking delivery of the shifter. I'll stick to my normal 5 speed throws, I miss the old days when it cost 100 bucks for shorter throws in a VW.

I didn't hafta' pre-pay, fwiw. Given the time passed, I presume it's a no-joy - no idea how many Rob needed to go through with it. Last time I bothered to call they were 'moving' and planned to get after it when they had their new tooling & fab shop.
Too bad, my third shifts are getting suckage, woulda' been nice to kill two birds (three with the zuch) with one service bill <sigh>. so, as far as I or anyone knows, UUC is out to pasture, though I've not bothered to call and get the "we're gonna get after it tomorrow" report lately.
