Cool! Yours sounds like the twin to mine, and probably a few others as well!

UUC Short Shift Kit

I called UUC and inquired about their performance clutch kit for the 6-speed.....more on that later.....

I also asked about the short shift kit for our manual e53's. The fellow I talked to said they are ready to start production, and are just waiting for pre-orders to fill up more. If you are interested in thier Evo-3 shifter including the DSSR selector rod go here: http://store.uucmotorwerks.com/categ...bmw+x5&x=9&y=7.

They don't charge till they ship out. My "dirty toilet plunger rowing" days are nearing an end. (Okay, its an exaggeration but you get my point.)

Any idea on the difficulty of the install? DIY? Estimated hours at a shop? Would the whole center console need to removed? Just wondering as I would be very interested if this DIYable or minimal hours at a shop.. Either way it is exciting to finally see a mod / add-on for the e53!!

Speaking of short shifter kits, I just bumped into this while browsing the Schmiedmann website.. Looks like a nice piece, specifically for the e53 with adjustable positions and all. $145 US doesn't sound bad for that. Anybody here using one & able to report on it?

Shoot that looks real nice for less than half the UUC unit! I should email to confirm fitment for our 5-speeds

Davintosh, nice find! That looks like a pretty sweet piece of art. I like that it is adjustable at all pivot/articulation points and has a vibration dampener to reduce vibration transduction/noise into the cabin. I hope its true that they have a specific application for our "SAV's". The price is good too compared to the UUC. Hmmmm...... options are good.
