Short Shifter F8x

Any recommendation on short shifters for the F8x platform? I am currently looking at CAE and RTD shifters.

AutoSolutions has to be in the mix.

AutoSolutions seems to be regarded as the gold standard around here, and is customizable. Never had it myself.

On my previous F80, I had the Rogue kit and was happy with it.

AutoSolutions made my F87 Comp shift action MUCH better. Less vague and sloppy through the gates. Much more affirmative movement and selection on track and street, both up and down the box. I'm used to very tight, mechanically satisfying, precise shifters, so the Bimmer box was a massive letdown. The AutoSolutions kit didn't transform it enough to put it in my top five favorite shifters I've owned, but it made more than 60 percent improvement, if I had to quantify. I'm extremely picky about gearboxes and shifters.
