Figured I'd post it here so that it had its own thread.

Thought some of you might want to see this. I just installed it and I'm in love.
It's perfect, its a tad shorter than the Z3 1.9 Lever but not even close to being as knotchy as the Z4 levers are. Its a good 1" - 1.5" taller than the Z3 lever. I also have the UUC double shear rod installed so everything is nicely weighted now. Also, I had to shave down the area where the lever slides into the uuc rod because it was slightly wider than the Z3, you should be able to see it in the pics above.
It'll be a hoot on the track!

What's next? A school bus steering wheel to match the shifter?

I'd like to. But I can't justify removing my Z4 2.5, I love it.

My friend has one on his E46 330i and its just too short. It's much too far from the steering wheel and its more difficult to drive on the track.
Its funny because he's a big fan of short knobs :o
But after he tried out the X5 lever he was like..."woah, this makes you want to drive faster...super precise"
