Just a curious question..

[Touring_22]

So i have been having a faff with the interior and i found this lump of turd strapped round the gear stick under the gaiter, which is torn to shit as a result !

I have no idea what it is or why it was there as i've never seen it before but it is BMW whatever it is.. so yeah just curious as to what it is really.. any thoughts ?

I've not seen one of those before if it's stamped bmw what's the part number off it so we can check it out ?

bodgefest is the word.

Some lame attempt to cure a sloppy gear linkage?

I was pretty baffled by it... like i just cant understand why..

Part number is 25.11-1 434 050

Or at least i think anyways.. Its just really picking my brain as to why.

Apparently it is a vibration absorber found on a 1.9 z3

If this is the case it is a seriously lame attempt ! Feels a hundred times better without.

The thing weighs a fair bit for what it is.. hence lump of turd but i still cant understand it

You may have a Z3 shifter fitted then

The guy i bought it from said something about having a short shift so i imagine it'll be something to with that then. Still wouldn't have served its purpose anyways as it was bolted up at the top of stick so if anything it would have made it worse tbh..
