ALL SHIFTERS $49 (Retail $63.95)
Your selections:
25-11-1-434-148 - Z3 1.9l
25-11-1-222-884 - Z3 2.8l
25-11-7-543-192 - Z4 2.5l

25-11-1-220-439 - Shims (Qty 4)
25-11-1-434-148 - Rubber Bushing (Qty 1)
25-11-1-220-379 - Circlip (Qty 2)
25-11-1-469-397 - Nylon Bushing (Qty 1)

Mounting kit with optional UUC Delrin Tranny Bushing. $34.50 (Retail $79.44)
Replaces part number 25-11-1-434-148.
Eliminates the side to side play of the shifter.
Includes all the part numbers above minus the bushing it replaces.

Shipping is a $9 flat rate to anywhere in the lower 48 states. 6% Sales tax applies to FL customers.

Totals shipped:
Shifter - $58.00
Shifter + Mounting kit - $75.50
Shifter + UUC Mounting kit - $92.50

So technically, you can buy a full short shifter kit with the UUC delrin bushing for just a tad more than you would pay for the shifter alone at the BMW counter with the dealer's own mark-up over retail (Walk-in Prices are listed at $91!!!) :buttrock

For any questions, feel free to hit us up.

Thanks,
Erick

[94calypsored]

is this only for E30's or can any of these apply to E36?
thanks

[KO SALES TEAM]

is this only for E30's or can any of these apply to E36?

Maybe.

I imagine there is probably some threads on the board about it if it has been done successfully.

Of course, it always best get an engineered solution like an aftermarket ss kit, for example, one of our UUC Evo 3 short shifters, if you are looking for the best shifter on the market.

This solution is primarily for the E30 customers, in which cases our staff knows what you will or will not need to make it work since we have had 6 E30s between our staff, or the extremely budget minded, however we also offer the full line of UUC Short Shifters which are engineered aftermarket solutions with perfect fitment that would require no bending etc. etc.

[KO SALES TEAM]

Thanks to Adam and Matt for you 192, and 193 orders with the mounting hw and UUC Derlins.

[Low Level]

Hi - Can you tell me which is comparable to the E36 M3 shifter? I used to have an E36 M3 shifter in another car, and really enjoyed it.

[KO SALES TEAM]

No one here in the office has driven an e30 with an E36 M3 shifter to be able to tell. If there is a picture of one available, you can compare it to what the other shifters are, and I'd be able to tell. So far, the only ones I've tried out are the Z3 1.9, 2.8 and Z4 3.0.

I see you are using a Ron Stygar Image for your sales marketing.....

[tony(topaz,SMG)]

I'm very interested. How long is the stock e30 M3 shifter compared to the ones in the picture? Is the Z3 1.9 shifter noticeably shorter than the stock one? Any issues with the different lengths from the ball to the end of the shifter that connects to the selector rod(the right half side of the shifters in the pictures)?

Thanks!

[BMWguy007]

Ive got the '02 Z3 M, is the UUC DSSR the same as the delrin tranny bushing? or atleast the same function? really interested.

[KO SALES TEAM]

I see you are using a Ron Stygar Image for your sales marketing.....

Sorry to disappoint if you like Ron Stygar? (I have no idea who that is).

I created that image from scratch with one of our local customer's cars as the base picture, and we've been running that ad for about a year and some change now.

If this Ron Stygar guy is using our images un-authorized please let us know immediately where the infringement is occuring and how to contact him to put an end to it.

We take our creative work and Intellectual Proptery very seriously.

Please email us at sales@koperformance.com with the infringements you have found ASAP.

The E30 M3 shifter (Part#25112225786) is different than the non-M e30s. By how much, I am not sure. I would assume it's a bit shorter. Since the e30 M3 retails at $137.75 and it needs to be ordered, I don't think I'll have one for comparison anytime soon. Sorry.


Ive got the '02 Z3 M, is the UUC DSSR the same as the delrin tranny bushing? or atleast the same function? really interested.

No, it's not the same part. The DSSR is a replacement for the selector rod. It's not really a bushing. The idea is similar though, it is to make the shifts more precise by removing the play on the shifters.

Thanks,
Erick

To clarify, I was assuming you were referring to our banner ad.

If something else, I'm lost.

We found the picture of the shifters all lined up on r3vlimited.com in an old thread.

25 11 2 228 384 shows no longer available. It is replaced with 25 11 7 527 254.
The new style shift levers have the yellow spacers built in, so easier to install.
BMW suggested retail is $63.95.

[KO SALES TEAM]

As a side note, just to clarify for Ron - the picture of yours is now deleted from the thread as we said it would be, and for your own reference I emailed you the link were one of my salesman found the picture. It was not your site, but some forum guy's photo bucket account.

That person who has that link going makes no mention of you, and that way, you can go have that person remove your picture and thus protect your copyright.

We wish you the best of luck on that, and we were happy to comply as soon as it was verified that you were the owner of the picture and that you didn't want people using it.

Thanks again!
-John Paul

[KO SALES TEAM]

PS - we will be posting a picture pretty much identical to Ron's so that people can see what the lengths and differences are within the next couple weeks.

[KO SALES TEAM]

Alright guys, every pending order is in Fedex's hands now. John Paul has e-mailed everyone their tracking numbers already.

As of right now, we have one Z4 3.0 lever remaining IN STOCK
First come, first serve. :)

Thanks,
- Erick

[KO SALES TEAM]

Thanks to Eric for his order of the Z4 3.0 shifter! Right now we got a few more on order. We got some Z4 2.5s and Z3 2.8s coming in as well.

Ron,

I looked into that and I edited the information. The pricing on our invoice with BMW had their local dealer's service counter pricing (also known as the walk-in pricing, a.k.a. dealer's own mark-up) instead of retail pricing.

As for the retail pricing itself, you are correct. The levers go for $63.95.

I apologize for any confusion, and thank you for pointing that out.

- Erick

[M3Alpine99]

Good Upgrade. I furthered my install of a Z4 shifter by melting out the rubber and redoing it with epoxy... ROCK solid now!

I would go with 2.5 :)

[stupenal]

Are you serious? :rolleyes

I can't believe you would doubt THE Ron Stygar. I thought I was considered relatively old school in 2002, but Ron Stygar goes back way way before even bf.c old school of Mar 2001. He virtually pioneered bmw messageboards and practically invented the OEM budget kit for bmws. I'm sure you've heard of his website, unofficialbmw

[Rob Levinson]

Derek, your ss kit went out today.

Thanks again for choosing KO!

We have 2 253s and 1 192 in stock and ready to go right now.

Thanks again to Rich for your 192 kit order!

That's going out on monday's truck.

Right now, I have:

Qty 1 of 253
Qty 2 of 192

in stock and ready to go.

-John Paul

[z3papa]

I guess its fair to say that KO and everyone viewing this thread now knows who Ron is. For the record, virtually all longtime Z3 and now most Z4 owners know Ron as an upstanding contributor to our community. Kind of like Randy Forbes as it relates to subframe repairs. Good luck with the group sale.

Good luck with the group sale.

Now we do know who he is, and after having had a few emails back and forth we can say that Ron was professional to work with in confirming his ownership of the picture we had been using from someone else's photo-bucket that made no reference to him as the owner.

Althought he may not like us for not taking him initially at his word that the picture was his, and forcing him to prove it (since we had never heard of him before)... hopefully he won't hold a grudge against us :) as we had it removed and even forwarded him the link of where we had found it at so that he could try and protect his work from the past better by contacting the photo-bucket people / owner of that account.

- on another note -
Thanks to Hashim for your 192 kit order!
Left already with FedEx today!
great email address by the way... I'm a fan of Sum 41 myself.

Really? Because I've emailed you guys several times about this image that you stole from my website and you've never stopped using it on your halo page.

That's a picture of Apexcone's DDE Titanium halos on a local customer's car that I took in my own garage. Please stop using that picture, it's not yours, it's not of the product you're selling and you definitely aren't authorized to use it.

Hey there,

I just sent you an email. We are VERY sorry that we didn't get that done yet. It is changed now already as soon as you brought it back to our attention.

I know it may seem rediculous to you, since we first discussed that maybe 9 months ago? But our website in terms of pictures and after market stuff has probably seen maybe 4 changes in that time frame, as we've been focusing all out energies in the Genuine and OEM parts arena and I have literally been stretched to the max in every direction.

Since our last email about this, and I unfortunately wear the webmaster hat among many others, I went from being sales group solo to having and training 2 salesmen, getting sent to physical therapy after being in a flip over car wreck (woman ran red light and t-boned me, unfortunatley still an issue), and having two hard drives with all of my emails go down - including your email, and I'm only now able to get back to the website.

I apologize sincerely for the long, long, long delay in getting that done for you.

Change is already made, and again, I am sorry for the annoyance to you.
We did NOT take that picture from your site, but our graphic artist found it elsewhere online, same as the Ron pic.

This is a BIG problem for us too, trust me when I say I can relate. That's why I'm happy to change it for you now that I have the time and you brought this back to my attention since I lost your email after the HD crash and the car accident.

Even now, I get super mad at all the punks on Ebay and MySpace that are using the images we created... there's even a guy in europe using the custom images I PAID our graphics guy to make just for us, not just pictures I took with our camera and staged on KO time, and we have no way to do anything about it according to our lawyer, unless we want to waste a bunch of money.

Anyway, I'm sure all that sounds like hoo-ey to you and a big croc, but I assure you I would have changed it much sooner had things not gone fairly disasterously for most of last year in my world with regards to time and resources.

Sincerely, and with apologies,
-John Paul Komasinski

[bimmer95]

No problem, thanks for getting that cleared up. Your new pictures look better too, since your old web guy screwed up the aspect ratio on my picture :)

The eBayers can definitely be a pain. One guy that was using a picture of my M3 with my old LED-lit-salvaged-E39-rings install on his eBay listing for angel eyes. After emailing him, we came to an agreement that he'd add "photo courtesy of understeer.com" to the image, so I let him keep using it.

Hope you're feeling better. Back injuries can definitely stick with you for a long long time.

[KO SALES TEAM]

Thanks to Tim for your order on your Z3 2.8l shifter. John Paul already sent you a tracking number,

Have a good weekend!

[KO SALES TEAM]

Hey Lawrence and Bill

Just wanted to let you know that your 192 and 253 short shift kits were in stock and are leaving on todays truck.

Your tracking numbers were already emailed to you.

Enjoy!

-Sherwin

[wifeyse46]

Are these still available? can't hurt to ask... :)

[KO SALES TEAM]

Yep, still available. :) We have a few levers in stock right now, but not all of them. I have to look back and check, but I believe we have the Z4s 2.5s and the Z3 2.8/3.0s.

Let me know which one you are looking for!

Thanks,
Erick

[wifeyse46]

Excellent! I'll email you right now...

[KO SALES TEAM]

Replied. :)

[wifeyse46]

Thought I'd try here. I got my invoice, thanks, but can i also get a tracking number or an ETA? I sent a couple of emails, but haven't got a reply. Just looking forward to getting my kit.

Invoice #: 08-050215

Thanks!
Chris

[KO SALES TEAM]

Hey Chris,

I just wanted to respond to this one through here.

We have been a bit back-logged on emails in the past few days but we are getting back up to speed as we have hired two new employees to help keep up with the demand.

Now back to you order, I will email you the direct status of your order so that you know what is going on.

I saw one shifter ship out today.

-Sherwin

[Travis10]

.

[wifeyse46]

Okay, let me try here again. Sherwin or Erick: I sent an email requesting that since my kit is not shipping until parts come in, can you please change the shifter to a Z3 2.8 instead of Z4 2.5. Can someone reply either here or through my email?

Would be much appreciated. And an ETA on the shipment would be nice as well.
Chris

[iMtrstng]

[wifeyse46]

Guys, I finally got my shifter just about a month after my initial order, even though I was told it was in stock. Several emails w/out reply, and when it came, they didn't make the change I wanted (Z4 2.5 to Z3 2.8).

My verdict: I didn't get ripped off, but it sure wasn't a pleasant experience. Probably wouldn't do it again, sorry to say, even though they seemed like cool folks.
