Please ensure your correct model is selected

Where we feel the most connected to our BMW is the shifter. A precise, snappy, sharp shift gives you the tactile and rewarding feel unlike any other. If your shifter is more slop than shift, it is time to replace or upgrade your shift bushings. Choose between our upgraded carriers bushings and shifter bushings to give your driving experience a serious upgrade, or bring back the factory precision with repair kits.
