335i BMW Performance SSK review + picture

retrodrive · 11-06-2007, 02:33 PM

Here is the picture:

More images of the car here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93627

The part number is 25 11 0 430 357. This SSK is avaliable for any e92 but it states that it will not work on 335i. That is bs. It drops right in there.

The shifts are definetely shorter and easier. The rubbery feel is gone and it is much easier to get into the right gear so you can slam it much more precisely while racing. I have to apply a little more force every time I shift because the shift lever itself is physically shorter.

You can use the handle that comes with the kit; however, I recommend you get a handle with more weight. It makes the shifts that much more satisfying. The whole kit is a very worthwhile upgrade especially for such low price.

P.S. I suggest buying it from our good forum sponsors because it might cost you over $80 more at dealerships.

love the soft leather you put on the boot. I'm surprised people haven't jumped on you for the M stitching. Most people get a flogging for that.

retrodrive · 11-06-2007, 04:02 PM

Its not like I am slaping an M badge all over my car. I just want my steering wheel match the interior. It is classy if used with moderation

so where did you get that shift boot from?

I think it looks awesome in conjunction with the wheel.

BTW, did you get the wheel from the Swede guy, or is anyone else on earth have access to that thing?

Thanks in advance, and car looks great!

hulkmax · 11-07-2007, 11:32 AM

looks great man!
i did the same mod on my e90 335i and used the ZHP knob too, makes a huge diff in shifts.

Thats a little on the expensive side. I got it around $167 for the whole kit from Tischer.

gundamfans · 11-08-2007, 06:02 PM

my dealership refused to install SSK since manufacturer says that SSK doesn't fit 335i E90...

335ie90socal · 11-08-2007, 06:09 PM

i think you can get custom shift boots on bimmian.com but a tad on the expensive side what gauges do you have in your car??

retrodrive · 11-08-2007, 07:09 PM

The gauges are EGT, Oil Temp and Boost. They are Blitz shallow mount gauges.
