actually i have to say this was probably one of the best options on the car. i remember that the shifter on my 996 turbo was crappy and the first upgrade i did was a short throw on that car.

You've got an absolutely sick line-up of cars. I really hope you've got an exhaust on that E60 M5 because they sound like someone shaking tic-tacs in a can from the factory.
