CamB 48 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Are you missing the whole lot or just the rubber bit? I might have the bracket but my chances of finding it are unfortunately pretty minimal (garage is a bomb site), and the rubber bit was stuffed. BMW (and other suppliers of BMW parts) will have the rubber bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 im not sure what im missing. the plate which the selector sits in is still there and the front 2 rubber bits are ok. its just the back one gone. bolt and all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find the pic at www.realoem.com then compare your car to an early E30 one (needs to be early as they changed the shift cradle at some point). That way you can figure out what is missing.

euroitalian 60 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Your shifter should look like the attached picture. Which parts do you need? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rxsumo 33 Report post Posted August 29, 2008 Silly questions time. Is the car fitted with a 4 or 5 speed box? If it is a 4 speed box, it isnt fitted with the rubber buffer, and the most likely problem is that the shifter plate itself is broken, it fatigues the area arount the top mounts until the plate breaks.
