Wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of short shifter on a BMW e36 / e46 / Z3?

I'm currently acquiring parts to switch the Getrag 240 gearbox to a ZF 320 on my Z3.

Before swapping the box over I'm refreshing it in the form of input/output shaft seals, linkage bushings and detents.

As I am aiming for a more precise feel, I have replaced the bushings for polyurethane and quite fancy one of the short shifters above.

I suppose its not the end of the world if its rubbish at that price - but would be interesting to hear if anyone has any experience with them.

I put the Z3m one in my E36 328i years ago

Had to bend the lever slightly as the Z3 ones are straight and the E36 has a bent lever.

Made a difference and was great using OEM parts as everything just fits and works.
