I just used a 2006 330i shifter I picked up at the dealer. It's shorter than my stock shifter. Only cost $70 too. Make sure you buy extra circlips!

I don't find the stock shift throw long enough to warrant spending $300 on a short shift kid.

OEM version won't work on the 2011+ n55xi I thought. If it does it doesn't shorten the shift just change height as someone said I believe.
