    Nice vid. Did this to my 540i a couple months back. One of the best upgrades you can do.

    I actually did the same thing for my 2003 540i after watching this video and looking in the forums... its a world of a difference and its shorter then the stock one.... I also replaced the shift knob I got a smaller shift knob off a 2015 335i it fit perfectly same design on the inside just clicks on and you are good to go.... Many thanks for this video...

    It's pretty much a review for the short shifter, still appreciate it

    This looks much better! might try it on my 525. The gearbox oil could do with a change now so will do them at the same time.

    what other shifter components should you replace when doing this?

    If you want it to feel even better, I highly recommend getting a ZHP-style shifter knob. It's a bit shorter and it's weighted so it makes those throws feel even shorter. I installed one in my M5 which has a Dinan short shifter and it feels amazing.

    Were you just getting used to the shifter or the shorter one is harder to move through gears?

    Hello. Is it possible to get parts from ECS Tuning in the U.K. My E39 M5 and I are based near Manchester. Great channel by the way. Thanks.
