UUC Evo 3 Short Shifter Installed

I had the opportunity to install my UUC Evo 3 short shifter while removing and installing the BMS exhaust. The installation was fairly smooth and Rob Levinson at UUC even responded to a late night IM concerning an installation question I had

The UUC is a tad shorter than the M OE but the shift feel is SO much more precise. Props to UUC and Rob for a great product and great customer support.

I have a write-up detailing this installation here:

I actually only had the 1>2 shift issue a few times and have not had it again since my 1200 mile service. I would only imagine it can help because the shift is so much better?

KW V3s already installed, I picked up GP20s old set

The shifter does not come with the kit but works well even with the OE shifter, I actually bought it before I bought the shifter from UUC.

For the record, the Z4M and the Z4 Si have the same identical transmission components. The Z4M is not shorter then the Z4 Si maybe the non-Si.
