Guilty 🙋♂️...It's a RTD short shifter with the "mini" lever (believe it or not). I have tried a couple of the OE options for short shifters in the past with new bushings but have been disappointed with the slushy feel they both gave. An Auto Solutions shifter which retains that precise and direct feel that the RTD shifter offers but sits at OE height is next on the to-do list. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's surprising, I've been through a few short shifters and by far the best has been fully stock with refreshed bushes, stock lever etc. I don't find it to be slushy at all. The 420G is a bit of a pig when it's cold and at low speed, bmw got it right with the stock lever imo. As soon as you shorten the throw the shift effort goes up too much.

Initially the shifter felt tight, but after a few thousand k’s it lost that crisp feel. It still was an improvement over the original parts which were swapped out at circa 100km, but thought it could still be improved a little more.

elias 281 Report post Posted February 16 I also habe an rtd shifter with mini lever in my 135i. I reckon it’s a great shifter and very comfortable to use, but then again it’s not a daily driven car. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK import, and owned (and used - often) by a very nice English gentleman who definitely knew what he had. I was drooling like a schoolboy...........
