Widge, the Z4 2.5 lever will be no good. The bottom section isn't long enough to make any difference.

The Z3 3.0 or Z4 3.0 will make SO much difference, the Z4 will produce the shorter shift, requiring more effort. I reckon the Z3 3.0 is about the best for road use. (had it on my Sport after fitting the 'mild' 1.9 lever to my 318iS)

Yep I think the Z4 3.0 Ltr gets the vote.
