kingdingeling Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) No, it doesn't, mines just unreadable no matter how I write. Anywho, that gear shifter is on the verge of ridiculous, if you miss that many gears with the regular shifter maybe you need some driving training. The only ride I ever missed gears in was my 1982 Civic in Australia where the synchronization was a little broken... [Edit] xPETEx, which year is that Beamer? How many horses does it have? If you have the N52B30 3.0 liter straight-6 in it (218HP, but they all have 218), it can be flashed to become a full 330i at around 270HP, as the engines are absolutely identical!

The stock shifter isn't very good. I didn't miss gears very often, but it happened a lot more than with the short throw shifter. The stock one feels kind of sloppy, and mine had a bit of play when it was in gear. Ask anyone with a 99-04 Mustang and they'll tell you all about it.

Waco Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 That's the most retarded analogy I've ever heard. How so? The shifter knob is blingy, requires specific hand placement (which is difficult when quickly shifting from the wheel to the shifter and back), and is hella tall. It should serve no real function except as a chunk of metal to grab when shifting. ...just like paint on your hood really is just there to keep it from rusting and to look somewhat nice. A pink bunny painted on the hood is about as useful as that shift knob...it works, but nobody in their right mind would want it. Just giving you a hard time for the hell of it really...

Onion Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Buddy of mine did this to his GTI. I'll post a picture of my shifter and knob, its really not that tall and the hand position is great. MGW shifters are super adjustable. Mine fits me better than the stock one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also will need a tire change soon enough and its other problems are cosmetic and not worth worrying about. here it is haha and my dads, also that is my mates surf ski not mine haha And this is what I am saving for and wont be getting for a while. http://www.redbook.com.au/cars/research/used/details?R=575971&Silo=spec&Vertical=car&Ridx=1&eapi=2 Plastidip the thing white with details plastidipped black all the interior silver crap will be vinyl dyed white.
