BMWs have historically been plagued by very long throw shifters from the factory - luckily, Turner Motorsport has the solution to this. Turner's short shifters are height and throw adjustable, offering up to 52% throw reduction over stock. Double adjustability enables you to find the sweet spot that will make you excited to drive your car again.

You're probably wondering about the long shifter. Right? Turner's rally lever extension is a Quick Change option - the lower portion of the short shifter is keyed, making switching back and forth between long and short levers a breeze. We like the taller lever because you can keep your hands closer to the wheel under spirited driving conditions or track days. Whether your vehicle is strictly for the track, a weekend warrior, or the daily driver - Turner's short shifter kit suits your needs.

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 of the car (on applications that use the stock shifter arm).

* For the short shifter to work the customer must remove the vibration damper (BMW 23131222514) from the driveshaft. Bolts needed after the damper is removed are included.

Also, you will need to check if your E30 has a narrow shift joint (BMW 25117580281). This is required for the short shifter to work. If you do not have it, simply select the option below to purchase it.
