Hi, any help on this would be appreciated.
I have recently bought a high mileage 2002 320d ( 150 K )
The gear lever is very floppy making it difficult to select the gears precisely.
What is the fix ?

Thanks

Steve

This write up details replacing the shifter bushings & pivot. Likely very similar to yours:

Part numbers are available here (for the E46, 320i right hand drive):
