The standard auto shift came out in March 2007, the second one is the SAT which came out in June 2007.

They both feature on current cars and the SAT is not much more cost than the standard auto (at least here in the UK).

Yep I know which I prefer to, not just the looks but the feel as well. The SAT shifter is so much nicer but at least you can change it and get fuctional changes too!!! Thats what I did.

Regards,
and here's a link to your SAT retrofit thread...

SAT isn't available on the xi! I'm not sure if it'll work I don't have the sport button either!

wonder if you can just retrofit for the shifter alone and not the Sport button/ SAT function?

Guys, the sport button is a part of the retrofit.

The SAT isn't an option on the 525d nor the 528i, but it's been retrofitted onto those cars. It might be worth a shot. It might work, but if it the functions of the 'SAT' doesn't work on the 'xi', at least you have a cool new shift lever!
