- Fitted for all R53 from 2004/01 (Facelift) & R56.
- Pre facelift 53 cars up to 2003/12 require shiftcables of R53 facelift. ( BMW Art Nr 2511 7 547 370 & 371)
- For 5 Speed Midland gearboxes a special cable set is required (item no. 10234 EUR 399,-) this is only made to order, please inquire if necessary.
- Short and super-precise shifting travel, exclusively H-pattern.
- The coupling system remains in its original form.
- Characterised by its optimal ergonomics with a focus on motor sports: perfect positioning of the shift lever close to the steering wheel. The shift pattern is confined to approx. 65 x 65 mm.
- Activation of the reverse gear lock via cable reel from the shift lever. An accidental changing to the reverse gear is impossible. The reverse gear is unlocked by pulling up the sliding collar on the shift lever.

- Problem-free shifting of gears under stress or in curves.
- Integrated centre position spring, ensuring perfect feedback when changing columns while shifting up and down.
- Right/left stops and reverse gear stop adjustable separately.
