My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
Have been driving my car for a few weeks now.
Everything about the car is great, except for the clutch and the shift...
Is there a short shift kit available for 525/530? Last I saw there's one for 545i, is the shifter supposed to be different in 545 (so that kit won't work on 525/530?)
Also, awhile back I saw some DIY stuff for the clutch stop with some simple hardware, but couldn't find it now...
Lastly, still need to get my CDV removed, need to find a shop to do the work
It's so hard to have a quick and smooth shift from 1st to 2nd, I can shift smoother with my 120k miles accord.
Do I just need more time to get used to?
I drove my bro's A4 and his is quick and slick....
