Was just looking at this upgrade. Thanks for the install vid, very helpful. Keep up the awesome content!
Awesome! Thank you!
Keen to see the next few videos in this series 👍
You and me both!
🔥🔥🔥 throwing gears man. So fun!
so much fun
Great vid. So needed to see a solution to the soft shifting
Thanks. This will help
Great video Tommy
Thanks 👍
Great work my friend, dang it.. yet another project to add to the list!
Thanks! Yes this one is a must
@@TommyLGarage ordered it yesterday.. lol..
Thanks for the information. So many little things can really make the driving experience so much more enjoyable. Obviously Porsche knows how to make the driving experience a life changer. Unfortunately my budget will never allow for these experiences. Enjoy the cars and keep the shiny side up!
Thanks for the love!
Nice review! Been looking to do this Tommy! Wish you did the Shortshifter 🙏🏼
Maybe one day!
Thanks very much man. This will be a great add. I just picked up an E90 M3 where the shifter has a very slight shake when in gear and load (driving). What do you recommend will take care of that?
PS I’ve learnt lots from you and awesome to see someone work corporate jobs and take care of this ;)
Great video! I have a question..where did you buy the shift knob? Love it!!
Nice install. I believe the NVH is much louder with the rear bushing replacement from what many have reported.
I recently installed AutoSolutions SSK with upgraded mid bushings. This shifter gives my M2C a precise shift gate eliminating vague and rubber like shift feel. Combined with my Rogue Engineering transmission mounts and Ultimate Clutch Pedal, it’s a perfect setup.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the passion.
Great tip thanks. Shoulda took her for a spin
did you watch the end??
Just did this on my M235i. The feeling of the shifter and the shifts are really better now. I used the Powerflex bushing, it's cheaper than Turner motorsport one and does the same job.
Thank you for the video!
Welcome to the nice bushing club !!
Did you go with the street or the performance version?
Well done, sir! Next step, AutoSolutions SSK!
Great suggestion!
I am considering a ssk myself....but this might be a good place to start , before I get in that deep haha.
That’s my thinking too
I think I will try the same
It's a must!
You make it look easy bruh. I would have degloving injury to my hands if I tried this
This one was easy!
the unicorn in the back loves it too
Haha
Cute unicorn behind the drivers seat. 🦄
lol thanks
ohh finally a M3 video lol. How long do you need for this job?
Haha.. takes less than 1 hour
How is the NVH in the cabin over the stock configuration when the engine is running, especially when sitting at idle with either the clutch in or out? Same or slightly worse?
Doesn't vibrate; all is well.
I don't like the feel of the shifter in manual G80. wonder if this piece would help? I'm gonna collect mine in a week
It WILL help
Looking at the second and last image from the ecs product page, you installed your piece the other way around. You have the flat side toward the shifting arm, and the image shows the protruding side toward the arm. 6:25 Did you mean to do this?
Good catch; yes I realized later but then I also realized that it doesn't make a difference. It glides on the shaft so it doesn't matter
Every time I’ve done this myself on previous cars it turns out to be a complete nightmare… I’m paying someone else to do it this time lol
Ohhhh this is what you were talking about at the show? How you liking this so far? Worth it?
I love it! Must do mod.
I need that in my e36
Isn't it automatic???
Excellent camera work Tommy. Very straightforward. Btw, is your shift knob upgraded? Looks different than mine (I have 2018)
Thanks! Yes that’s the oem MPerformance V2 knob
Any extra vibration at speed transmitted throught shifter ?
Nope - zero. Just crispier shifting.
Do you have a third car? I have a Cayman and would love an M3 but I feel like I need an SUV, Estate or Pick Up truck so I at least have something to hall furniture/plants/junk etc.
I do...2018 XC90 T6
Awesome, thanks for the vid. I have been wondering about these and if they make any difference. Any difference in install with stock midsection / exhaust? Any particular gear you need to be in during install/removal, or doesnt matter?
I believe with the stock mid section you will need to remove the mid pipe.
Did you ever install this? I have a stock midpipe and am wondering if i need to remove it
@@TwoSnailTom Yes I installed this without removing the midpipe / exhaust
@@camluczi Thanks for the quick reply! Here i was shopping around for a single midpipe / equal length thinking I'd do both at the same time.. guess I'll get under the car tomorrow! Thanks again.
@@TwoSnailTom I would still love to try the equal length midpipe. I already have the M performance exhaust on but getting used to the "unique" sound. You may have some issue moving the heat shielding back far enough, but it is doable
Do you think you'll ever do a m2c brake swap?
I don't think it's needed....unless I can find a killer deal
Tommy, have you done, or are you thinking of doing, the CDV delete. I def feel boost lag when I shift quick. Not sure if CDV would help. I also have BM3 OTS Stg1 93, like you, so I’m wondering if you feel that lag after a quick shift.
That’s a good idea
Too much work
@@TommyLGarage Would love to hear your experience if you ever do it. This video seems very helpful. ruclips.net/video/CFict1fzerE/видео.html
Did you torque it to a particular spec? I just picked this up for my F82
Nope. Just tight
Where are the tripod jack stands from?
I just updated the video description with the link!
Does it fit to a m2 comp 2020 with s55 engine ?
Yes it does
I am glad to see that an $88.3 bushing can significantly improve the shifting quality of M cars. Since I currently drive a manual 911 Porsche, I am reluctant to commit a manual M2/3/4 because of its rubbery shifter. Obviously, an aftermarket short shifter kit upgrade can probably match that of Porsche's. But my question is why BMW has never taken care of this issue for as long as they are making the manual M cars?
BMW caters to the masses, this means most people prefer the seamless shifter feel.
Have manual M2, any downsides to this, NVH or other issues?
Nope. Only positives !
I wonder if I can do it on my own
sure you can!
DIY on bimmerpost has the bushing mounted the opposite way.... youre sure its correct?
Good eye; from what I realized it does not matter which way you put it in; it goes on shaft quite deep and direction doesn't matter.

looks as though flipped it might move less side to side.
@@TommyLGarage also apparently like my car if you have build date pre 11/2015 then you need to run this model. www.turnermotorsport.com/p-395189-turner-polyurethane-shifter-arm-bushing/ i didnt realize this till trying to install mine.
@@tauzins thanks for sharing this, I was just about to install mine and watched this video as a quick reference and noticed your comment. My production date was 06/14 so I have to return the original one I bought and purchase the one you linked above
i suspect the cayman used for comparison has an aftermarket shifter in it...
the OEM one on my 2007 cayman is made primarily of plastic. the frame is entirely plastic and the bushings (no bearings) are white nylon plastic. in fact, the only thing that is metal is the rod that holds the plastic/chrome and leather knob. the aftermarket one i installed is entirely made of metal, CNC machined aluminum frame, highly polished stainless rod for holding the knob and ball bearing interfaces for the moving parts. it eliminated slop and added a metallic precision that was lacking before.
although the OEM one on the cayman is soft and a little vague i suppose it could be preferred by some, maybe many, IDK.
Nope; cayman is an OEM shifter. It's amazing
Hi, does this apply to f20 118d? I would like to have same feeling when everytime changing gear. Thanks.
From what I was able to gather yes that is still the same one
@@TommyLGarage thank you for your quick respond, do you know is the part available in European market?
Which short shift kit are you thinking about?
not sure yet; not sure also if I want one
@@TommyLGarage Based on this vid, I just ordered the bushing from ECS. From my research, not many SSK options for the F8X.
@@adcampo7601 you’ll be very happy
Hi, where can I buy that shift knob?
Getbmwparts.com
What brand are the electric stands?
Quickjack
Would this also work on a 6 Speed F30?
I was told it would but not in all models
They make this bushing for the F30 but 2012 and 2013 models will have the older cylindrical bushing which is a little more difficult to install. The new style bushing Tommy installed is held in with two bolts while the old style bushing is pressed into tabs that are part of the chassis.
@@934hifive that was actually really helpful. Thanks Mike!
I'm wondering when you sell your car, are you going to put the orignal bush back on your car
Nope; this one stays
@@TommyLGarage just ordered the part to change my rubbery bushing as well. That click sound is so satisfying! Looking forward to other easy mods that could help with the rubbery feeling!
I purchased the product. It seems m4 have different layout.
Should be exactly the same
@@TommyLGarage this only work from 11/14 production
Now you just have to fix the long throws
Honestly it doesn't bother me. I like the throws
There are short shifters for the f8x
Tommy, Screen delete the f80 too lol
lmao
How come nobody speaks about that upgrade. I owned a lot of bmw and the rubbery feel has always been something that it not pleasant.
Because I'm the brave man who is willing to get down and dirty :)
@@TommyLGarage sir you’re making my exhaust tip blush 😂
hello
hi!
I saw your listing on the FB group for the m3 ;( Pleaaaaaaase don't sell it
i won't ;)
@@TommyLGarage 🥰
I guess the best feeling will be a chassis mounted shifter 🤷♂️
most likely
@@TommyLGarage I guess we know what’s next!! 😂
Here to make sure you dont sell her. Keep modding. Lol
That's the plan!
This didnt age well hahah @@TommyLGarage
@@Hotflare touché !
