NM Short Shifter - GET ONE

I had one of these on my R55. Loved it. However, I really got used to it. When I made the move a few weeks ago to an R60 the car just never felt as sporty and fun to drive as my R55. I can saw now I know what was the issue.

Today I put the NM short shifter in my R60. WOW.

Thanks for the review.

Did you install the shifter box cover as well?

This short shifter is the next part on my list.

How hard was it to install? I'm thinking I should do this to my car as well

Install should be pretty easy since you don't have to pull the whole assembly. I considered the NM, but ended up going with the Cravenspeed since it shortens the top side of the shifter. I think the stock shifter is way too tall.
