I'm looking for any info about any short shifter kits that will fit this car.

I was looking at RTD and was ready to order as I love the look of them but I can't see any N52 versions.

If any of you have done short shifter upgrade of any sort for this specific engine/car - what did you go, how was the process and how happy you are with the result?

For what it's worth, my five penn'orth is that I've tried short shifters in the past on other cars and found the result less than satisfying. Are you aware there are two OEM shifters from BMW for your car, depending on whether the car is in SE trim (long throw) or Sport trim (shorter throw). I was fortunate to have Sport trim from the factory and I really rate the throw length and action. Just saying...

I wasn't 100% aware, yet those look much different and I assume the feel/action is very different from RTD shifters since they are just a different 'rod' (?).

I found this one in the UK, which looks like a simple replacement, not even sure whether I'd have to go under the car:

But I was looking for something that include DSSR as well, like this one, but it seems to only be suitable for N54 engines:

I have the oem M performance SSK on my 323i n52b25. I believe it fits all n52 models.
Nice reduction in throw, pairs well with weighted knob, clutch stop, and cdv delete.
