Turner Z3M Performance Axle-Back Exhaust

Unleash your Z3M’s full potential with the Turner Performance Axle-Back Exhaust. Forget the heavy, restrictive factory exhaust — this system not only drops a significant 42 pounds but also provides a clean, aggressive tone that announces your arrival on the road or track.

Why Choose the Turner Z3M Exhaust?

While the E36 and E46 M3 models often steal the spotlight in the BMW performance scene, the Z3M, with its coveted S52 or S54 engine, offers an exceptional blend of power and handling. The Turner Axle-Back Exhaust embraces and enhances the Z3M’s capabilities, refining its sound, power, and aesthetic appeal for true enthusiasts.

With a straight-through muffler design, this exhaust optimizes exhaust flow, boosting throttle response, torque, and horsepower. Lightweight and meticulously engineered, it’s crafted to bolt right onto the factory mid-pipes for easy installation. Precision-designed for flawless fitment, it retains the OEM exhaust angle for a clean, OEM+ look.

Pro Tip: When swapping out your exhaust, check if your gaskets and mounts need refreshing for a completely seamless install.

Upgrade your Z3M’s shifting with Turner’s Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR). The DSSR provides a more solid connection, minimizing deflection and delivering a direct, precise shift feel. This meticulously crafted rod uses dual shear points to secure both ends of the shifter, translating every gear change into a crisp, controlled action — especially effective when paired with Turner’s poly rear shifter bushings.

Why Upgrade to the DSSR?

Imagine shifting with a single arm; you have control, but it’s limited. The DSSR uses both contact points, like gripping handlebars with both hands, offering a balanced and powerful connection. With its solid construction and minimized play, this DSSR keeps you firmly connected to your transmission for a completely immersive shifting experience.

DSSR Key Benefits:

Enhanced Shift Feel: Dual shear design for stability, minimizing unwanted movement. Perfect Fit: Precision-machined pins ensure seamless installation. High-Quality Materials: Constructed from 303 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Consistent Alignment: Maintains factory shifter length and angle for optimal ergonomics.

TURNER MOTORSPORT DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE SHORT SHIFT KIT

BMWs have historically been plagued by very long throw shifters from the factory - luckily, we've developed the solution. Our short shifter system is height- and throw-adjustable, offering up to a 52% reduction in throw over stock. Double adjustability enables you to find the sweet spot that will make you excited to drive your car again. Installation of this kit is also of the easiest to tackle. Compared to the competition, a custom bearing cup allows for easy installation from inside the car (on applications that use the stock shifter arm).

Benefits:

Adjustable between a conservative short throw to ultra short throw Ultra crisp shifter feel - quicker, more precise shifts More engaging driving experience Adjustability:

Independently adjustable knob height 22mm adjustment range to fine-tune shifter throw and feel. Note: knob height also affects throw reduction to some degree Independently adjustable shifter throw Adjustable by raising and lowering the lower lever position relative to the pivot ball. Note: ball position also affects knob height by ~10mm range Combined total throw adjustment range ​32 to 52 % reduction in throw over stock E36 shifter. A throw adjustment can be done in the car without removing the shifter DSSR (109MM) - E36 420G

Like all OEM selector rods, the factory part uses single-shear attachment, allowing for deflection within the shifter linkage. The result? Vague, imprecise gear selections that detract from your overall driving experience. The dual-shear selector rod (DSSR) design spreads the torsional force of gear selections across the selector rod joint, reducing deflection for increased precision. Our DSSR is precision-machined from durable 304 stainless steel to further reduce deflection and resist corrosion.

Features:

Provides a more positive feel in the shifter by reducing play in the linkage due to minimized deflection Manufactured from 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and durability Replacement for 25112228055 (European E36 M3 Evolution) HEAVY-DUTY SHIFTER ARM - E36 420G

To cater to the six-speed swap E36 community, we designed a direct replacement and upgrade for the unavailable, 420G-specific shifter arm. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and clear anodized, this replacement carrier is durable, lightweight, and built to last. It is dimensionally identical to the OEM carrier, ensuring compatibility with the OEM shift carrier bushing, shift lever, and Turner Motorsport Double-Adjustable Short Throw Shifter Kit.

Features:

6061-T6 billet aluminum construction provides excellent durability and longevity Mil-spec clear anodized for superior corrosion resistance Dimensionally identical to its OEM counterpart, ensuring compatibility with all factory shifter components POLYURETHANE SHIFTER ARM BUSHING

This shifter bushing is designed to remove the shifter play caused by an old, failed rubber shifter bushing. Manufacturing the bushing from polyurethane instead of rubber reduces the amount of stretch caused by the moving part through the bushing. This maintains the direct crisp feel from your shifter assembly. When your OE shifter arm bushing begins to fail, you will notice slop in shifting, potentially making it easier to miss gears, and it often causes an obvious vibration and movement from the engine RPMs.

Features:

Corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel mounting sleeve with bonded 70a polyurethane Stiffer bushing results in a crisper shifter feel and a more engaging driving experience.
