I'll copy myself from another thread:
By applying this same reasoning, short-throw shifters are of no value either. The person should "just reach farther," right? Neither are shorter, lighter trigger pulls on a firearm. One should "just pull harder," correct?
I don't believe everything I read, but prefer when possible to try it myself. I would hazard to guess that the majority of naysayers have never tried the SB. But, if they indeed do believe everything they read, then I suppose they will take your comments above as the truth as well.
I tried sb on 2 of my friends' e60, I didnt like it but I for sure like the feel of short-throw shifter and you know what, active steering.

Knowing Marc, I believe what he said was at least partially in jest. Like you, I've experienced the SB and read the article. I do not disagree with what it says. I do, however, enjoy the feeling of the SB. Those who just read the article are akin to those who say they do not enjoy X piece by Mozart based on a music review, never having heard it. That is ignorance of the worst kind.

Really, dickhead?? Me, Krozi and about 70% of the rest of the E60 Forum are ignorant for our endorsement of the SB?? :whistle:
I'm not against the SB; if you like it good for you.
If someone would post technical data on the SB that is used on the e60, or better yet loan me one, I'd post a DIY version you could build with parts from radio shack.

didnt we all buy these autos for the superior "feel", so if a SB makes the car feel better then why not???? we all do things off impulse and emotions. try it.
