Fitment

Limited to late E36 and E46 manual cars supported by 25117580281. Early E36 production and transmission-specific selector rods/DSSR lengths are excluded. Diagnose play at the joint, lever pivot, carrier bushings, pins and selector rod before ordering.

Aftermarket options

Checked genuine BMW 25117580281 and Garagistic billet late-model replacement K0730. Garagistic is for the same late joint but was explicitly backordered. DSSR and short-shifter choices remain transmission/length specific and are not shown as universal.

Before you buy

Late E36/E46 scope only; verify VIN, production date and transmission. Selector joint 25117580281 does not make every DSSR or selector rod universal. Inspect the entire external linkage before replacing parts. The current joint supersedes earlier numbers, but manual-transmission linkage and production-date fitment still require VIN verification. Do not infer automatic-transmission fitment from the chassis list.
