I've been lurking here a while, whilst I ponder pulling the trigger on a 2005 530 (waitng for the R6) or a 545i. I'm pretty much a purist, so the SMG is out, as is the steptronic obviously. I have driven the 530 and thought the throws on the 6 speed manual were fairly long compared to my current BMW (Z3). A couple of questions that I would be interested in this groups feedback:
1) Does the 545 have essentially the same throw length and feel as the 530? 2) Has anyone else noticed the long throws, or is it just me and I will get used to it over time? Thanks for the help! OnOn |
Why is every new poster "lurking"?

Welcome to the forum. I have the 545i w/6-speed manual. The shifting throw is about the same as my e34. I didn't have any problems getting used to it. Once again, welcome. |

you could always install a short sifter :) it's what I did on my E39 M5.

Yes, the throws are a bit long, but you get used to them very quickly. I had a short-shifter installed but it transmitted way too much noise into the cabin. If you do get a short-shifter, I would be careful - the 545 seems to be more sensitive to changing the shifter than my Audi was.
