In about 2 weeks, we will have confirmation on updated pricing and availability on B&M shifters. At the moment, we were told that we may see a $20USD to $25USD reduction in the price from the current retail price if we purchase 10 or more shifters. That would put us at an estimated retail price of $144USD to $149USD range This is still not confirmed yet but we were wondering if anyone is interested in a group buy on these shifters.
You may post here as I will check back from time to time.

It's $149 through Sean Hyland Motorsport (that is, if the Focus and Contour part are the same?) http://seanhylandfocus.cc/prod/sec03.html

Can someone confirm something for me: Is it true that these shifters DO NOT work on E0 Contours? I really want one (some day) but don't want to buy something that I can't use.

not trying to be rude, just curious What we are unsure of is the final retail price. The drop in price will probably become the regular retail price and lower than that on group buys. That is what we are hoping for. The other part that messes up our calculations is the darn currency exchange rate. Our Canadian dollar is pretty weak and sometimes it's hard to compete against US retaillers.

The B&M fits the 98 with some modification (shimming IIRC)

B&M fits fine with no modification on my E0. Mine hits the base when shifting into 2nd and 4th, kinda like it, makes it feel like the Ferrari gated shifter.  Also, I know people that have NO problem with the shifters in their E0s, but they resetted the shifter position. There are two 'buttons' on the tranny with which you can center the shifter with. Might help, helped for some. HTH John
