  • OEM height (will mate with the M240i MP shifter, we'll see if I have the amplified whirring noise)
  • 80a+ upgraded bushings

Like others have mentioned, Ronald was very responsive and provided great information. I let him know that the M2 is my only car, living in Toronto Canada, doing maybe 3-4 track days a year, and he suggested without a doubt to stick with the 80a+ bushings. I challenged a bit saying that I likely wouldn't mind the slightly increased NVH of the 80a, and whether he could provide insight on pros and cons of 80a vs 80a+. He flat out said the following:


Like some others said, $449 to start, and an added $49 for the bushing upgrade if ordered at the same time as the shifter. $16 to ship to NY.

He doesn't have any shifters with my configuration in stock, so he'll likely be shipping out end of the month. Just contemplating on whether I should do the CDV delete or not.
I have ordered the exact same shifter. Have you received yours yet. Are you doing the install yourself?
I have not received the shifter yet. Ron let me know that it'll likely be ready by month's end. I'll give it another week before I reach out again. I have not been charged for anything yet. I'll update the thread once I hear more.

As for install, I think this job is likely beyond my capability as a DIY hobbyist, and I'd also like to do the CDV delete at the same time. So, I'll likely take it to an indy BMW specialist to do the work.
