SSK for Xi... Need your help!

mosport70 · 08-29-2006, 10:10 PM

Called Rogue today asking when they would have a SSK for the 330Xi. They said NEVER... apparently the labor to install it would cost 3 times the price of the SSK itself.

I would be willing to pay this but RE won't make one.

While the design of the shift linkage is different between the i and Xi models, it is not that different (based on the pics on realoem.com).

I know most don't consider the Xi *the* performance model but it handles the curvies beautifully. I just need to shorten the throws and reduce the notchiness.

I am asking on all Xi owners out there to call RE and demand an SSK for our chosen model. Enough demand might spur them to develop something.

Help!

Good luck, although most people who buy an XI model are not interested in performance mods. Of course you and other XI owners are the exception, I doubt enough of you will convince Rogue to make a run.
