Is the BMW Performance Short Shift Kit different then the stock ZHP? If so are the throws shorter and by how much? Anyone done the upgrade ?

I did the upgrade. It is different than the stock ZHP shifter and does shorten the throws as well. I no longer had to shift my upper body to reach 5th. No measurement of exactly how much it shortens the throws but it is defintiely noticeable.

Awesome thats what i wanted to hear. Bought the kit for the knob and boot and if it shortened it was a plus. I currently have an OEM m3 knob, so just the knob will be a difference for me. What DIY did you use?

M3TA5IN Yes Correct. I bought the entire kit for the knob and to have an extra boot. I ordered the shift boot, knob and rod as a kit. It was so cheap it was not a big deal if the rod did nothing for me. I could sell the rod and recoup most of my money. The whole kit was 80 something dollars brand new.
where can I buy this kit from? dealer? ECStuning?
i bought mine from ECStuning.com , its no longer as cheap as i bought it though. Its back up to 200 i believe. I should of bought 2 kits.
Prices are back up at ECS. I bought this one for $99 a month or so ago. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...ifter/ES46510/
with the stock ZHP knob the price is almost $200.
You might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

Some of the short-shift-kits come with the straight arm which is exactly the same as the stock ZHP one, and some of them come with the curved arm which is slightly longer from the ball to the linkage connector which yields a slightly shorter throw. There's a thread here on ZHPMafia with a picture of the two side-by-side but I couldn't seem to find it.
