    Hi All,

    Went onto Lohens website and bought the Forge Motor Sport short shift for my F56, been using it since last Friday and thought I'd give you guys my impression of it first hand.

    Although advertised as only taking 1.5 hours to fit it's more like 2. It's advertised as having a variable setting of up to 40% reduction in movement. I've had it screwed back to the highest setting and feels more like 60%.

    It's a great little piece of kit, the gear changes are obviously a lot shorter and you get more of a mechanical feel as you stick it into each gear.

    If anyone is in the Aberdeen area and has thought about buying one I'd happily meet up so you can try it.

    Speak Soon
