Real-world results from our workshop

We fit these OE cylinders regularly at MJ Modifications and the transformation is immediate. Customers report a firmer, more predictable bite point, easier rev matching and smoother upshifts, especially on 130i, 335i, 550i and E60 M5 manuals.

Often chosen as a non-official upgrade on compatible F Series models for a more linear pedal and smoother engagement. This is a popular option for drivers seeking a CDV delete style feel. Check the compatibility and consult us before purchase.

Compatibility check

We offer a free fitment verification before dispatch. Add your UK registration or the last 7 of your VIN at checkout so we can confirm suitability for your specific manual gearbox variant.
