No, they aren't. They are trying to make this third version as close to stock feel as possible, but it's hard to tell yet. The first two are really notchy and translate vibrations. So far the best one is ACS, but at $800+ it's just too much. RD Sport is coming out with a very similar one, but cheaper. These operate from a stock layout, so the shifts are silky smooth.
B&M is also an alternative, but has it's own share of bugs. The newest generation is about to be released.

I think a UUC SSK Evo III will be the first mod I do to my car. I am a little hesitant to mod this car in general because A) I don't want to void my warranty and B) too much modding taints the pure BMW appeal. After reading a lot about these shifters and talking to my BMW Service Advisor about them the general concensus seems to recommend them 100%! "A must have for any BMW manual tranny driver". I don't see any real negative implications arising from me switching out the shifter, so as soon as UUC gets a 6-speed one in stock for an Xi I will most def. order. Ever since reading UUC's comparison of their shifter to the stock BMW one (and I know ... the info is byist) I keep "feeling" these thermoplastic parts while shifting. Any opinions?
