That euro one pictured is not the same as the ZHP stock or the BMW Performance SSK one.

Oh, and the BMW Performance SSK kit pictured is the one with the leather knob and the same arm as a ZHP. There is another BMW Performance kit that comes with an aluminum/alcantara knob that come with a lever with an S curve.

This is the one that comes in the BMW Performance SSK kit with the aluminum / Alcantara knob:

We really should organize all the info on SSK's into one thread.

Here. Check this out.

This pic here is for the sale of the "BMW Performance Shift Lever" for the e46 M3 (check above the picture) but if you check the P/N, it's the same as the 330d. Also, notice the lack of the bend by the pivot ball.

VS the the "BMW Performance Shift Lever (But for the 330i)

A said "BMW Performance Shift Lever" is NAMED the same for all cars, but for the M3 VS the 330.. they are completely different. For the M3, BMW just takes a 330d shift lever and labels it as the BMW Performance one. But for the 330, a completely new/different lever is used.

Just because the M3 guys figured this out, doesn't mean that the BMW Performance lever is just the 330d lever across all applications.

That one you have pictured above as the BMW Performance Shift Lever for the e46 M3 looks different than the one in derbo's post that he says is the euro 330d lever: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...597#post191597

I think it's the same, I think the camera angle is screwing it up

Certainly possible but it looks more bent to me

Installed the Performance SSK 'S' Curve (Thanks Will) with UUC DSSR two weeks ago by Vince T. He had to do the change from the bottom. Removing the exhaust and place the drive line out of the way. The UUC DSSR has a few kinks. Two of the plastic bushings provided cannot be used on one of the locking pins for the circlip to lock in. The pin is possibly 2mm short for the circlip channel.

If 3rd gear is close to the center console, you should see 5th gear. It is really, really close almost hitting the console. I'm just glad I do not stay too long on 5th.

Your welcome. The knob sitting farther forward was my complaint too and why I ended up buying the UUC. Not sure why you had trouble with the DSSR pins and bushings. Mine came assembled with the pins and clips on the DSSR so it wouldn't be possible for them to not notice a problem before sending it out.

No worries. It's in there. I'll settle for this 'S' Curve for now. It does the job......Until I get enough funds in the future for a full replacement.
