This is the list of the one I can get...
Which one would be a great upgrade for the 535i 5 speed.
I keep cracking mine because of the track and I cannot get the UUC before the track day...

The driveshaft is gone after 3 hours and I am going to install the Z8 shifter tomorow. I really feel like dropping the transmission....
I will take pictures tomorrow.

Being in Canada, I need something tomorrow... so I will pick it up from my local warehouse that is why I need an OEM solution.

Bruno,

It has been a while, but I seem to remember that the 320i tranny mounts are the way to go. When I installed my UUC shifter a couple years ago I noticed that my mounts were bad. I asked one of the tech's at the shop whose lift I was using and he recommended the 320's over the E34's. I was under there a couple weeks ago and they still look good 2 years later. I have no noticable flex or shifting probs whether I am driving hard or like a little old lady. Granted the mounts haven't been through a track day yet but they work for me. YMMV.

Best,
Rory

yep, heres the others, the super duper m3 mounts or the ones with the aluiminum cup, most will work as long as the stud is in the center and it's about the same height, you may need to grind a tit off or something. won't help now but mabey for next time

If you use the 320i mounts you might have to drill the hole bigger for the 320 mount threads. So, don't forget to get new nuts too.
