I've searched and I know I have read it before on the forum, but does anyone in the Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Pasadena area know of a good shop to install the CDV and UUC short shift kit and the approx. labor cost? Thanks, Jim

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
You can get the modified CDV from: http://www.zeckhausen.com/
The difference is suttle, but you can feel it. Most noticable when slow start parking and rapid shifting. I noticed it the most on rapid shifting, I just could not get a precise shift.

Let us know what you think of the short shifter.
Did they come out with a clutch stop yet for the e60?
