It’s pretty cool to drive, but I will say that the stock shifter is a little rubbery for my taste. Then again, my Beetle had a Spulen short shifter kit that was as right as it would let me make it.

Looks like you’ll bump into the center console every time you pull the handbrake.

Manual parking brake and all. I thought they all had gone with electric parking brakes, although I don’t keep up to date with BMWs.

Nah. You rest your arm there when you pull it.

5 Series has an electric parking break.

Exact same comment I have with my 3-series shifter. I was told switching it to the M-Sport one makes a huge difference:
Seriously considering it, but it’s not exactly cheap... like $150.

A knob won’t fix it. It would have to be the assembly.

Well one difference is the M-Sport knob is weighted vs the standard knob, which some people claim it makes a difference already. Definitely replacing it with a short shifter would feel much more different.
