And to revive this magnificent subject, I announce my short shifter! 
I bought a Z4 shift lever from Garry Romani and went to Motorcepts. Turned out the shifter was wrong, but Leo @ Motorcepts actually had one in stock (Awesome? I think so!!!), so he was nice enough to give it to me in exchange for the one I had. Installed the shifter pretty quickly, drove around with it unmodified for a few weeks, but went back and convinced Leo to bend it. Took some ingenuity on his part to figure out how to bend it just right without damaging it, but it is all done now and I'm loving it. Ideally, I'd bend it a little bit more, but for now, it is fine.
Let's get some real drivers talking here again (Krozi
) - I'm sick of all the Babkens out here!

I was thinking about it for a while...but I just don't feel like dropping the money for the SSK and then having to pay to put the car on the lift and drop the exhaust etc...besides I actually like the longer throw and there isn't very much play in the shifter to complain about.
