BMW Shift Knobs, Shift Boots, & Shift Handles for BMW E90 M3 S65 4.0L

Made for the real drivers car, we are excited to offer our new Turner Shift Knobs. Our mission was to develop a shift knob that helped connect the driver to the car. There is something about having a third pedal and direct engagement with your gearbox that makes driving worth all the time and money spent on your BMW. Every once in a while a product a product comes out and you just have to think to yourself "how could it get any better than this?" There are many shift knobs out there but none like our Turner weighted shift knobs. A combination of the correct size, shape and weight paired with the durable but smooth Delrin exterior gives you the driving experience that cannot be matched by anything else on the market. Our weighted shift knob is superior for its enhanced shifting capabilities and resistance to temperature change. No more hot shift knobs in the summer and bone chilling shift knobs in the winter, the Delrin exterior provides a barrier between extreme temperature changes for a truly enjoyable experience.

Our Turner Motorsport's in-house engineered billet aluminum shift knobs have been carefully designed and tested to bring you one of the highest quality and greatest interior enhancements available. Our shift knobs start out with a piece of billet 6061-T6 aluminum that gets CNC machined for a precision fit and finish. The aluminum components are anodized with an extremely durable and long lasting type II finish. Unlike many others on the market, our Turner shift knob features a groove where the seam of the wrapping insets so there is a smooth appearance and feel. The lower "boot lock" securing nut was carefully designed to provide a clean, OEM style seal between the knob and the shift boot by allowing the boot end to tuck down inside it. Weighing in at a shift smoothing 340g, the knob will enhance the shifting experience and pairs extremely well with Turner's short shift kits to give a full shifter makeover! OEM shift knobs have an average weight of 175g; the substantially heavier weight of Turner's shift knob will smooth out shifts resulting in faster engagement and a much better feel. Up to 179% heavier than your stock knob!

Anodized billet aluminum core
Extremely durable Delrin outer construction
340g(11.99oz)
6 Speed Coin
Anodized billet shift boot collar with Turner logo engraved

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
