525i loose shifter

[///M-Power 3\\\]

Hi guys, the 525i i just bought has excessive slack in the shift linkage, so loose that when i was trying to enter reverse i had a hard time cause it was smacking the console. Does anyone make a reasonable SS kit for this since i need to replace alot of those parts anyway? Anyone else have this problem?
I've been working on BMW's for a long time and this is the worst i've seen.
