BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E92 (2007-2013)

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

Product Development:

Our Chassis Mount Shifters are designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. 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.

Ensure precise clutch installation with this specialized alignment tool, designed specifically for N54-equipped BMWs. While most aftermarket clutch kits include a generic alignment tool, many are intended for the N55, which is incompatible with the N54 due to differences in pilot bearing mounting and flywheel design.

This tool is engineered for both 6-bolt (01/2009+) and 8-bolt (-01/2009) N54 flywheels, allowing you to accurately center and align the clutch disc on the flywheel during pressure plate installation. Achieve a hassle-free and precise fit with this essential service tool.

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 ACT Streetlite flywheel offers the following benefits:

Noticeably improved engine response and acceleration: Experience a significant boost in engine performance and acceleration with this component. OE to mild gear rattle: Expect only minimal gear rattle, from Original Equipment (OE) standards to a mild level, ensuring a smoother drive. Heat-treated forging for strength and toughness: Crafted using heat-treated forging, this part guarantees enhanced strength and durability. Induction-hardened ring gears for maximum life: The ring gears undergo induction hardening, providing maximum lifespan and reliability. One-piece construction allows less opportunity for failure and provides uniform efficient heat transfer from the clutch disc: The one-piece design reduces potential failure points and ensures uniform and efficient heat transfer from the clutch disc, preventing issues like warped inserts or loose ring gears. Recommended for street and race use: This component is ideal for both everyday street driving and competitive racing environments.

Forged, CNC machined, and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability: Expertly forged, CNC machined, and dynamically balanced via computer to ensure smooth and reliable performance at high RPMs.
