Z3 auto shifter on e-34- How?

Thanks for the info.
So looks like I am on the right track. One poster (KurtM) refered to a shift shaft 25162228145 ($45) and spacer tube 25161422826 ($1) he got from BMA. I have not received a reply yet from BMA. From Maximillian's parts search site the "Shift shaft" part is called Shift lever-upper part and looks like the knob/handle. It could be all I need is is the spacer tube, whatever that is??

Yes, you might already have that shift shaft as part of the shifter that you bought.

Interesting that the spacer tube that you give the part # for is 55.5mm long. Where as the same part on my assembly is 121mm long. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...59&hg=25&fg=15

So you need to get the Z3 version of the spacer tube to properly mate up with the Z3 version of that shifter due to the Z3 shift shaft that you've got with the shifter?

Too bad I'm not sure when I can get to pulling mine apart.
