This bushing is the point where the shifter arm pivots. If you are experiencing excess play in your shifter, this could be the cause. Worn out shifter ball bushings allow too much movement from wear over time.

The shift lever out of the Z3 M Roadster and M Coupe is a direct replacement for the factory part. Some people use the shift lever on other models and it can reduce the shift throw by as much as 30%. The only downside to installing this on other 3 series models is that the shift is not bent like the stock 3 series part and will not be properly centered unless modified.

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.

Replacement Part Recommendations:

Gaskets – P# 18111723379 Round Hangers – P# 18211105635 Square Hangers – P# 18211704198 Exhaust Features and Benefits:

Weight Reduction: 60% lighter than stock — a whopping 42-pound weight loss. Enhanced Sound: Free-flowing design minimizes rasp for a refined, powerful tone. Precision Fit: Designed using FARO ARM laser scanning and CAD technology. Durable Build: Made from T304 stainless steel with a natural finish, 1.25mm wall thickness, and TIG-welded for durability. Increased Power: Mandrel-bent dual 2.5" stainless steel tubing reduces back pressure, enhancing performance. Aesthetic Upgrade: Quad-tip design for an eye-catching rear view. Kit Includes: Clamps, hardware, optional Turner exhaust tips, and a full rear exhaust section. Turner Motorsport DSSR (389mm) for Z3M

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 Doorbuster Kit: Double Adjustable Short Shifter Kit & 389mm DSSR for BMW Z3

Upgrade your BMW Z3’s shifting dynamics with this Turner Motorsport Enthusiast Bundle, which includes the Double Adjustable Short Shifter Kit and 389mm Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR). Enjoy enhanced control, adjustable throw, and a precise, connected feel—perfect for anyone looking to take their Z3’s performance to the next level.

TURNER DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE SHORT SHIFTER KIT

BMW’s factory shifters are often known for their long throw, but Turner Motorsport has crafted a solution that redefines the experience. This Double Adjustable Short Shifter offers customizable throw reduction—up to 52%—along with height adjustability, allowing you to dial in the exact feel you want.

A standout feature is the Quick Change rally lever extension. This lets you effortlessly swap between a taller lever, ideal for spirited driving or track days, and a shorter one, for daily use.

Benefits:

Adjustable Throw: From a slight reduction to an ultra-short throw. Crisp Shifts: More precise, quicker shifts for a connected driving experience. Easy Installation: Bearing cup assembly for installation from inside the cabin. Rally Style Option: Switch easily to a taller lever for track-focused driving. Installation and Adjustability:

Height Adjustability: 22mm range for knob height fine-tuning. Throw Adjustability: Independently adjustable throw using a set screw on the shifter ball—no need to remove the shifter. Total Adjustment Range: Up to 52% throw reduction compared to the stock E36 shifter. Design Features:

Materials: CNC-machined 4140 chromoly steel, 304 stainless steel shifter ball, Nylatron® NSM bushings. Anodized Aluminum: 6061-T6 aluminum levers and bearing cup, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Knob Compatibility: Compatible with OE BMW and most aftermarket knobs, with a Quick Change rally lever featuring a black Delrin knob. TURNER 389MM DSSR FOR Z3

Turner Motorsport’s 389mm DSSR is designed to provide a superior shifting experience over the factory selector rod. This Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR) is crafted for the Z3 6-cylinder models (replacing part #25111222780), offering better control and eliminating unwanted play.

The DSSR works by “sandwiching” the shifter’s connection points, stabilizing the entire mechanism and enhancing the direct feel of each shift. Pair it with Turner’s poly rear shifter bushing for an even more refined experience.

Benefits:

Enhanced Shift Feel: Reduces deflection and play, resulting in more precise shifts. Compatible with Factory and Turner Shifters: Matches the 389mm length for factory knob positioning. Corrosion Resistance: Made from 303 stainless steel for longevity and durability. Design Features:

Driver-Centered Lean: Maintains a 5-degree lean toward the driver for natural ergonomics. Laser-Etched Branding: Includes Turner Motorsport’s logo for a premium, authentic look. Why Choose the Turner Motorsport Short Shifter Kit and DSSR?

With this kit, you’re not only getting a fully adjustable short shifter to make your driving more responsive and engaging, but also a high-quality DSSR for reinforced stability. This combo is perfect for drivers who demand precision, control, and an elevated connection with their Z3’s transmission.

Revolutionize your shifting experience—Turner Motorsport has you covered with engineering, performance, and durability.
