Carbon Fiber rods are available. Sold separately and can be found here: Carbon Fiber Shifter rods. 

Please note: Because this shifter is straight (not bent/curved like most BMW OEM shifters), some applications may require a custom-length DSSR. If you are unsure what length you will need, reach out to us at support@garagistic.com and we will help you figure that out! We have over 80 configurations of DSSR's, so it is crucial to include the last 7 of your VIN for us to reference and assist us in determining which DSSR is appropriate for your application.

Fitment

Will this shifter fit my car?

• Fits: E30, E36, E46 models
  • Not compatible with iX AWD MODELS
• Short option not recommended for E36 and up chassis
• Will fit on round transmission tunnel holes between 3 1/4" - 3 3/8" diameter.
• Fits most BMW chassis such as E30, E36, E46, Z3, E39, E34, and many more (some very early model cars will require some modification to the opening in order to properly install the shifter. Please check the opening size based on the dimensions provided above.)
• 1984 - 1985 E30 Models have a smaller diameter hole in the trans tunnel for the shifter. This will require you to remove enough material to increase the diameter of the hole in the trans tunnel with a Dremel for proper installation.
• Please Note: Some OEM BMW shifter rods have a very slight tilt; therefore, some shifters will also have a slight tilt once installed.

Which size rod should I get for my car?

• In general, the longer the rod, the longer the shift-throw will be and the less notchy it will feel, while a shorter rod produces a shorter shift-throw and a more notchy feel.
• It is important to note that due to the varying heights of center consoles in different chassis, certain size rods may be too small/large for you. For example, the E30 center console is shorter than the E36 center console, so a short height shifter rod will be too short in an E36.

Note on Inventory status

We currently have all components in stock to make these. However, These are very custom and have tons of configurations. In fact, there are nearly 676 different configurations possible. It's not possible to have every combo pre-made ready to go. Each one gets hand-assembled to each customer's specs. Shipping lead time on shifters is around 1 week from order to shipment. Please do not call/email within 30 seconds of placing the order to check status. These are worth the wait, we promise!

Due to high demand, in an effort to keep orders going out in as timely a manner as possible we can not take custom requests outside of our preconfigured options. This includes custom anodizing colors and combinations (example: bare assembly with anodized knob), custom shift patterns and emblems, and custom threading options.

Please leave Year and model in the notes on checkout!
