Short Throw Shifter, Aluminum Quick Shift Short Throw Shifter Part Replacement Auto Throw Shifter Fit for E30 E36 E39 E46 M3 M5 3/5 Series, Silver Blue

Was expecting a lot of modifications based on other reviews but the only change I needed to make was sanding down the bushing to match the same width as the stock bushing. C clip fit with no modification to the base of the shifter.

Not worth the time to properly fit this into your car.

So I'm using this in a 2006 E46 M3... and as the title says, if you have a dremel and are ok with needing to modify it before it can be used, then it will work nicely. If you're looking for Plug-and-Play, stay away, look elsewhere for sure. I had to grind 2-3mm off of it to get it to sit in the carrier far enough to affix the c-clip that hold it in place. It was then a tiny bit loose side to side in the carrier so I drilled and tapped two holes in the carrier and used small machine screws to stabilize the shifter in place. After all of that it's completely solid and a great short shifter for my needs. Given that a "good" aftermarket is 10x the price at least, it was very worth it for me to make the modifications. For $20, if you have the ability to modify it, go for it! My guess is that this likely fits the older style or non-M3 shifter carrier better. I've included some pics of my carrier, other carriers may not require as much modification.
