Turner Motorsport for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

The ULTIMATE shifter upgrade for your BMW! Experience more precise throws, less shift lever travel, and an all-around transformation in your shifting experience.

For dozens of years, enthusiasts have critiqued the imprecise and vague feeling of BMW manual transmissions. Plagued with long throws, fore and aft play in gear, and a generally loose feeling, your OEM BMW shifter leaves much to be desired. While most standard carrier-mount short throw shifter kits will aid in reducing throw length and eliminating side-to-side play in gear, some enthusiasts long for a hardcore, race-inspired shifter that completely removes play and excessive throw length. At Turner Motorsport we share the same desire and set out to offer the ULTIMATE upgrade with this Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter.

WHY UPGRADE?

Factory BMW shifter assemblies are complex by nature. The main component of this assembly is the shift carrier, a cast aluminum piece positioned inside the transmission tunnel that incorporates bushings at both ends for mounting. Like most factory parts, these bushings are designed to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transmission to the cabin. To the spirited driver, however, these bushings translate to flex and vagueness in the shift lever. Moreover, because this carrier is mounted to both the transmission and the body, the entire shifter assembly will "float" with the driveline, further increasing the vague and imprecise feeling of your shifter.

Our Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter removes the shift carrier assembly entirely—removing any prospect of flex caused by bushings or driveline movement. By contrast, this chassis mount shifter offers a drastic reduction in shift lever travel, vagueness, and side-to-side play. An elevated base allows for moving the fulcrum point upwards, resulting in a much shorter and more precise throw. Shift times are further reduced by a tall, "rally style" shift lever, used to aid in leverage while also bringing the lever closer to the steering wheel. Our design incorporates a proprietary centering spring design, which is adjustable for increasing or decreasing self-centering force. In short, this design eliminates all the drawbacks of your factory BMW shifter, translating to more control, greater precision, shorter throws, and faster shift times.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Reduced Throw: Modified shifter geometry and heightened fulcrum point translate to a shorter shift lever throw
Improved Shifter Feel: Eliminating the shift carrier and associated bushings drastically reduces "slop" and side-to-side play in the shift lever
Increased Precision: Mounting the shifter to the chassis allows for little to no variation in gear selection
Universal Fitment: Fits many BMW chassis with the provided base plate and hardware (see "Fits These Cars" for exact fitment information)
DESIGN

6061 aluminum, 4130 steel, and 316 stainless steel construction
A type-II black anodized finish
Adjustable self-centering spring
"Rally Style" shift lever
Spherical bearing pivot with maintenance-free brass insert

For many E30, E36, E28, and Z3 owners, the factory antenna is often a source of frustration. Many have stopped functioning entirely after forty years post-production. What's more, if your antenna is stuck at full height, it can ruin the clean lines of your vehicle’s rear end. The typical solution is a cheap grommet from the hardware store, which can lead to water/debris intrusion and more headaches down the road. Over the years, we've noticed the increase in demand for this modification, in addition to the issues associated with other, less optimized antenna delete pieces. Hours of research and development have culminated in a perfect-fit antenna delete plug—tailored specifically for your vintage BMW!

Our high-quality solution is engineered for durability, providing a sleek and watertight finish that restores the aesthetic of your car’s rear end while eliminating the need for an obsolete and likely disfunctional factory antenna.

Key Features:

Eliminates Factory Antenna: Solves issues associated with malfunctioning or broken antennas. Watertight Seal: This prevents water and debris from seeping into the trunk area, protecting against rust and corrosion. Enhanced Appearance: Streamlines the look of your BMW’s rear end for a more refined finish. Simple Installation: Installs in seconds without any tools required. Robust Construction: Made from quality low-density polyethylene for long-lasting durability. Precision Engineering:

The Turner Motorsport Antenna Delete was designed and rigorously tested by our in-house team of engineers in Wadsworth, Ohio. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology such as FARO laser scanning for precise reverse engineering, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, and extensive product testing, this delete solution offers exact fitment and top-tier quality you can trust.

Upgrade your cooling system setup with our Heavy Duty Radiator Mounting Brackets, engineered to deliver maximum structural support and a refined engine-bay aesthetic. After decades of heat cycles and hard driving, your E30's factory plastic mounts inevitably become brittle, faded, and prone to cracking, risking damage to your radiator. Our radiator mount upgrade completely replaces those tired OEM units with a high-strength alternative built to handle the rigors of spirited driving, track days, and engine swaps. Whether you are performing a full cooling system refresh or executing an M5X swap that utilizes an E36-style radiator, these brackets provide the ideal balance of precision fitment and rugged dependability.

Crafted with a premium brushed stainless steel finish, this kit does more than secure your radiator; it radically improves the visual appeal under the hood by swapping out cheap, weathered plastic for durable steel hardware. Designed as a true direct bolt-on solution, the brackets align seamlessly with factory mounting locations, eliminating the need for frustrating custom fabrication, cutting, or drilling. They clamp down firmly to eliminate unwanted radiator movement, ensuring your cooling stack remains locked in place under heavy vibration.

Wheel studs are among the safest and most beneficial upgrades you can make on a track car. Not only are wheel studs safer than wheel bolts but they make changing wheels/tires much easier. One of the frustrating things about installing your wheels on the hub is that it's difficult to line up the wheel on the bolt holes. As wheels get larger but also heavier it's even more trouble. Add in a wheel spacer and the task is twice as hard. BMW does produce a wheel alignment pin for this purpose but if you're changing wheels often a stud conversion is the better way to go.

These wheel studs are the same as our hugely popular Bullet Nose studs but with threads along the full length of the stud. This gives you more threaded area for tightening wheel nuts or allows the use of a closed-end wheel nut. These also have a more OEM appearance. Although these are a lower cost version of our Bullet Nose studs, they are every bit as strong, durable, and safe. The Bullet Nose is an upgrade because it's easier to install and almost impossible to cross-thread a nut.

Not all wheel studs are created equal. We don't take a manufacturer's generic wheel stud from their catalog and call it our own. Turner Wheel Studs are designed to our own specifications and manufactured for us exclusively. Beware of cheaper studs on the market! We have seen other studs similar to our own designs that are not a true BMW fitment. There are differences that we have ironed out over our years of selling wheel studs for the BMW market. Our stud prices may be slightly higher than the rock bottom prices on the web but we promise that it's a higher quality.

Sold per stud.
