You said you were also getting the DSSR. Isn't that only for M5's?

You are correct Mike the DSSR is manufactured for quite a few models including the e34 but only the M5.

I was looking at the ones for the e30, forgot I am using the Getrag 260 on my e30, thanks for noticing that and bringing it to my attention.
Strange enough though, I wonder why not for the e34 535i, they are quite similar to the e30, will have to measure them to compare or call UUC.

BTW, I am getting the distributorship business from UUC, it's already confirmed, just have to decide what to get and what to stock.
There are no dealers here in this area for them and they are willing to give me the business.

I was told that I called the right time regarding this since they are now looking at expanding into Canada a bit more. :D

what's so different about the M5 that its DSSR can't be used on another E34? say for instance my car

Mike, I just looked up the parts diagrams. The straight selector rod as it's called, which the DSSR replaces all have different part numbers between the popular models, including the e34 535i and the e34 m5.

There must be subtle differences, maybe in length, offset etc.

Makes sense though, if they were compatible UUC for starters would have known that and would have advertised their DSSR accordingly.

wow thanks for that. I'm sure the standard Evo 3 without the DSSR will be fantastic

No problem Mike. The EVO3 will be awesome alone from what I have read, even without the DSSR.

With a newly assembled OEM straight selector rod, it will be almost as good. Everyone who used the EVO3 giving positive feedback were all the non M e34 and e28 guys, none of them are using the DSSR since it's not available for those models.

I have rebuilt a few OEM 5 speed gear shift assemblies, and that alone feels good and is practical, so just imagine the UUC SSK with the upgraded design. :D

I think I might need a new selector rod be cause my shifter has alot of play for some reason. And the selector rod is the only thing I can think of

Will do for sure Barney. I have a BMW performance website and my own BMW forums as well. With these two, I can advertise product with pricing and give tech support too.

The discussion forum will help a lot since I will post pics and procedures on every installation we do. You guys will also have the opportunity to express your views and ask questions at the same time.

I would be more than happy to help you guys in the UK.
