Overview

The BMW Short Shifter from NP Parts & Engineering is a compact, chassis-mounted short shifter designed to improve shift speed & precision while keeping the interior clean and usable.

The solid CNC-machined base mounts directly to the gearbox tunnel. This eliminates flex and wobble commonly found in linkage-based shifters, resulting in a direct, consistent shift feel with very short gear travel.

What makes this shifter stand out is its low-profile mechanism. On BMW E36 and E46, no visible interior trim cutting is required. The cabin keeps a clean, OEM look.

This shifter is designed for drivers who want maximum mechanical feedback and control, whether for track use or aggressive street driving.
