BMW E30 E36 E46 Performance Gear Selector Upgrade - CAE Ultra Shifter - Part No. 10023BMW

Transform your manual gearbox feel with the CAE Ultra Shifter, a race-bred gear selector assembly for BMW E30, E36 and E46 platforms. Expect razor-sharp, ultra-short gear changes, a tight, defined gate and a direct, mechanical connection that puts you in total control on road, circuit, drift and time attack. This is the chassis-mounted, tower-style solution serious drivers choose when they want a crisp, positive, short throw gear change with motorsport precision.

We run this kit on our own builds and our customers love the consistent engagement, driver-focused ergonomics and premium finish. Made in Germany by CAE Racing, it is engineered for Getrag and ZF 5-speed and 6-speed manual transmissions with an H pattern, including dog-leg layouts.
