BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

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
Product Development:

Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer and rigorous long term product testing.

ECS Tuning's Polyurethane Transmission Mounts are designed to address the vital role of transmission mounts in your vehicle's suspension. The factory mounts are notorious for failures that can result in over-revving, mis-shifts, and in extreme cases, potential chassis damage. Our polyurethane mounts provide a robust solution, engineered for both street and track applications, guaranteeing enhanced performance while eliminating concerns about torn mounts.

Polyurethane stands out with its exceptional toughness, durability, and impressive wear resistance compared to rubber. It also exhibits resistance to water, oil, and grease while retaining its original shape even when subjected to significant compression. By reducing deflection, polyurethane facilitates effective power transfer. While there may be a slight increase in NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), the benefits far outweigh this minor compromise in ride comfort. With a polyurethane durometer of 70A, our street mounts are versatile, offering both daily driving comfort and track durability. For more track-oriented enthusiasts, we provide stiffer mounts with an 80A durometer rating.

For a hassle-free installation, we supply a comprehensive DIY guide. ECS Tuning ensures that you are fully supported from start to finish.

Maintain peak performance and extend the life of your transmission with the Bremmen Parts DCT Transmission Filter. Engineered to block harmful contaminants, this premium filter protects vital components such as solenoids and fluid passages, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.

A clogged or worn transmission filter can restrict fluid flow, leading to delayed shifts, harsh gear engagements, or even severe transmission failure. Replacing the filter during routine fluid service or after major component replacements like the clutch pack, pump, or fluid pan is critical to preserving your transmission’s performance.

Choose Bremmen Parts for a durable, high-quality solution designed specifically for your BMW’s dual-clutch transmission.

The drive shaft support bearing is essential for stabilizing the drive shaft and ensuring smooth, efficient power delivery. Over time, the rubber mount surrounding the bearing can degrade, leading to excessive drive shaft movement and noticeable vibrations.

If you notice a thudding or clunking noise during acceleration, especially coming from beneath the center console, a failed center support bearing is likely the cause. Bremmen Parts provides a reliable and affordable replacement solution, designed to restore your BMW’s performance and driving comfort.

The transmission is sometimes neglected during regular vehicle maintenance over time. Without proper servicing, the automatic transmission fluid can deteriorate, resulting in contamination of the valve body and filter with deposits and sludge. This can cause issues like rough shifting, slipping, and, in severe cases, necessitate transmission replacement.

For a reliable replacement transmission filter, consider Febi-Bilstein for top-notch quality.

Constant exposure to the heat generated during transmission operation can cause this small plastic transmission adapter to degrade and warp over time. This failure often results in fluid leaks, a common issue in vehicles equipped with the ZF 6HP19 transmission.

If you're dealing with a transmission fluid leak and struggling to identify the source, this adapter is likely the culprit.

Restore your transmission's integrity with a high-quality replacement from Bremmen Parts, designed to provide a durable, leak-free solution for your vehicle.
