THIS "RACE CAR PART" IS MAKING ITS WAY INTO BMW'S ALL OVER THE WORLD

- Chassis mounted shifters are more and more popular for BMW's like the e36, e30, e46, e90 and e92. Today I find out if it is a good fit for the e36 m3 and if it is a good alternative option to the infamous short throw shifter. Does it only belong on the track in race/ drift cars, or is it also good for the street?

I had a Garagistic chassis mount on my first e36, it literally changes the entire driving experience. 10/10 would recommend
Please give this man 1000 likes.I wanna see that 6 speed swap coming!
I’m definitely not trying to brag but I can shift that fast in my stock 09’ 335i with 185K miles. I swear my car is a unicorn 335i XD
N54 6 speeds are a great transmission. Probably my favorite from BMW. In fact you can buy swap kits to throw one in am e36. Now, imagine that with one of these shifters 🤤. Check out colorado n5x on youtube.
Lies lol. 335i's suffer terribly from shift bog. It's been nearly impossible to eliminate amd everybody hates it
The best remedy I've seen is a tune for flat foot shifting. Seems to help quite a bit.
@@rodgazinya lmao nope, lighting fast shifts every time. I just got lucky 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Love the RTD on the m3. Installed this in the racecar and world of difference on track.
Awesome! The e36 m3 in my opinion is the best of them all I have one and will never sell it I love the car!
i have a chassis mounted shifter from garagistic, they recommended stiffer engine & trans mounts & i went ahead & reinforced the front subframe
wat about rear
I had a RTD Mini V2shifter which was still taller than stock height on my 135i when I owned it. Although CAE is the "Gold" standard for chassis mount shifters, the RTD takes the cake hands down because you do not have to cut anything in order to install it and the craftsmanship is tops. That is my next upgrade for my E36 M3.
Couldn't have said it better
The drifts getting crazy clean 🤝🔥
Some of the fastest manual shifts I've seen on this platform.
That's the one I just got for my E36 build. Glad to hear good things about it. Thanks
I’ve known about chassis mount shifters but have avoided them because of the need for stiffer bushings.
Which bushing? Gearbox?
Just got my e36 328is and I’m in love with it, you helped me see the good and bad and helped me decide to get it, thank you
I've had three manual Z3s (E36), I always go from neutral to second then straight into first from a stop, especially when it's cold. Changing the transmission fluid on a manual helps. Every used car with a manual is low and has thick black fluid.
If you can buy a stock shifter from manual BMW e60, in e36 it will be as short shifter, almost identical to z3m shifter but you get it for few dollars
Yup, I was considering this for my E39 since stock is such a sloppy shifter. I mean for a 20yr old car you can't really expect much, but yeah insane value for your money. I believe you can put a Z3 weighted shifter on this too and you'll have a decent setup till you can get your hands on one of these.
Might consider this on my E30 vert project. It's going to be a mildly modded mountain driving cruiser.
I'm putting a short throw shifter in my 99 m3, using delrin bushings as well
Damn this thing is tastefully modded af
Nothing beats the feeling of a nice clean shifter
Put a Coolerworks pro shortshifter in my 130i and it's a game changer,super tight and fast shifts,they look amazing too,nice upgrade
My UUC certainly is not doing that, but I have the newer version. 6 speed swap can be done super cheap if you get the SMG from an E46 M3 that nobody wants and then delete the automated parts and install the detents.
I think that shifter has been in my car for more than 10 years so it's understandable. They now use 6 set screws instead of 4 so mine is an outdated design.
This is a definite mod I have been wanting to do for my e30. Right after I get megasquirt. Already have new bushing all the way around its not a priority. But rtd is a solid choice compared to the CAE.
got a garagistic chassis mount sitting beside all my condor bushings waiting for snow to go away so i can throw it all in my 330 e46. its something thats been on my mind for a few years now.
honestly 95% of other canadian car guys i talk to know about chassis mounts and is an item on almost all bmw guys lists that i know
the problem with 1st gear is a common problem in e36, its clutch related the problem is with the plate disc, its old or it happens when it`s used cheap fake clutch kit, use oem one and will not have a problem. this stick is very ugly if someone likes oem look of the e36 interior. Men, you need to post more frequently i love this chanel.
Just out of curiosity my 96 Z3 has the same 1st gear problem. I find just revving it in neutral right before I put it into 1st makes it pop in place most of the time. So in order to fix that problem I need a new clutch? And not a new shifter?
@@imanoldurango8213 yes, you now that f you use wright revving you don't need to engage the clutch to put the shifter to gear, and its obvious that the problem is not with the shifter. Moving down/up through the gears its common practice, and also nice way to brake the gearbox :).
I don‘t want to annoy you but is it likely that it also occurs on E90? Perhaps you know that
Because I have the same problem
I put a garageistic shifter in my e36 m3 and it is absolutely awesome.
I love this channel so much. I recommend a 3.38 or 3.46 diff for the 6 speed trans. But I am sure once you swap you will figure that out.
3.91 or nothing
@@TechTokOffical That won't solve the highway rpm issue lol. And in town you will definitely be towing the boat quite frequently. Then again I have never driven a manual with a 3.91 diff so maybe I am missing out.
I love watching any e36 modding, sick video!
I have a garagistic on in my e30 and in honestly not a complete fan it's not bad but I am doing a swap in a e36 I think I will I will be Ordering the rtd this time around.
love your videos man! Shame that u dont upload to often :/
Well I was on the fence about a chassis mount or just a short throw, I think ima do the chassis mount, thanks dude
That is a great intro, great work man
Oh man, I wish I could mod my e36. But first I gotta fix the heat/ac, rear passenger door latch, rear trunk lock, passenger door panel, passenger handle trim, rear passenger handle trim, rips in the threads in the leather, a bunch of seals on the engine and hoses, rear springs and suspension (don’t even know everything that’s wrong with that yet), replace the cat, and identify and fix a rattling inside the rear passenger seat column. And that’s just the stuff that’s obvious lol. Still a great car though. Never left me broken down anywhere, still beats chargers in races.
get it baby
Same thing happened to me but I stalled and it was a just a car that woulda hit me but I still think about what would of happened if I didn't stall
Next upgrade is definitely a chassis mount shifter
Now I need one for my f30
I want an e36 m3 so badly my friend has one it’s so nice
I love how you failed to do the most important part of the chasis mount, the trans mounts!!! You NEED solid trans mounts for the chasis shifter , otherwise the flex destroys the selector rod, it also needs a dssr... js
Hey I wish you showed us your take on the install. What did you do about the rubber heat shield boot ? And how much road noise is being transmitted inside? Any weird rattles ? I got the Garagistic one given to me as a gift and it’s cool but this is what I’ve always wanted but I can’t justify the spending
I don't think the return spring is what is making that difference, it's just that the e30 trans are way worse than the e36 ones, so the shifting is definitely a different experience.
have one in my e46, such a good feeling shifter
Ease of installation?
lightning fast shifts :-) NICE!
When that notification drops, love morning skids
Like number 958 reporting in, almost there!
Remember the time I figured out about the sneak peek for your steering angle kit
Yo man I love your videos. I'm all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦. Why haven't you changed your stereo player? I see you still have the original BMW cassette player. Are you scared that it'll mess with the electronics?
Hey thanks for watching! I haven't changed it because I prefer the stock look and I actually never listen to music in that car 😂
This car neeeeeeeeds 6th. My supercharged m runs out of gear real quick
4k rpm at 90mph is not ideal lol
@@TreatsOnTheStreets I already go through 1/4 tank every 20 miles... E85 man. lol
I wish we had e85 here...
@@TreatsOnTheStreets I know you said turbo. But have you considered a supercharger?
I did my portion 👍 to see that 6 speed transmission swap.
what happen when transmission is moving around since tranny is mounted on transmission rubber mount? If you mount shifter directly on car body, it wouldn't have any movement.
You need to run polyurethane transmission mounts to use a chassis mounted shifter.
God allowed that shifter to not go into gear
Haha just saw this vid and I posted one myself on my new Garagistic shifter. Love it!
More Reinforcement! Can't go wrong
I have a chasis mount in my z3, you NEED solid trans mounts otherwise you'll destroy your selector rod and pin assembly, you need to get rid of the play in the transmission, then get a dssr dual shear selector rod, then finally upgrade to revshift greens for the motor mount, guibo, and rear differential ... without doing all of that at the same time, your "performance " gains will be short lived because of parts failure ... js do it right not like these guys
I still have an E36 UUC Evo 3 short shifter kit with a DSSR new in the box never mounted. If someone wants it.... dm me.
im in love with your fucking car man with the halos.. 5:40 did it for me
I need that six speed swap too lol own both a e30 and e36
I have been looking for those headlight/corners for months now. I have a 325is thats exactly the same colour as yours and its good to know it looks rad, but fuck me is there not anything on the market for those anymore.
You can try my website in the description. The headlights may still be out of stock not sure.
Keep it oem bro...
Nah, sorry to disagree but... Owning an e39 with the original super, super sloppy OEM shifter, I can say that this is probably one of the only things even OEM bros can probably agree should absolutely be replaced on this car with aftermarket. My shifter and many other BMW owner's shifters wobble around so much, sometimes when I pop it into 1st the rightmost part of 1st is almost right in the center where 3rd would be.
Definitely getting one of these with a medium throw length once I can afford it. I'm not even a racer or care about the quicker shifts, I'm just annoyed with the slop.
y the oil temp gauge not work
It works it just was pretty cold.
This mod is amazing!
Looks like the 6 speed happening lol
Look mum no handssss
good thing about your wife, the car is meant for you both.
What kind of engine/trans mounts are you running with that setup?
Polyurethane engine and trans mounts
Yep the BMW shifter is the worst pile of butter churning garbage ever created and any aftermarket short-shift only makes it up a tiny little bit better... chassis shift sounds like exactly what is needed. Can you link both of those exact shifters that we saw on your video?
Hey man, love the vid!
What camera equipment do you use?
It's a canon 80d with the 10-18mm lens most of the time.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Oh nice!! You always have such crisp shots I had to ask!
I actually just posted a video myself, I'm only starting out but watching your vids have really inspired me to go ahead and start my own Bmw story so keep up the incredible work man!!
Nice man! Keep it up
I’m running a Dinan SS + UUC DSSR and it’s holding up good. Now I’m tempted to go chassis mounted 😥. How was the install?
Install was really easy. Didn't even need to drop the exhaust or driveshaft but I am a skinny dude. Took me about an hour. Worst part is just getting the stock carrier off
I got a 325e e30 man. I need some good places for parts. PUT ME ONNNN
fcpeuro
Samsonas makes a good chassis mount, one piece
Did you end up changing out the engine/transmission mounts? I know it's recommended to go to something more solid.
I already had poly trams and motor mounts so I didn't have to worry about it 👍
@@TreatsOnTheStreets oh ok
wow! just learning about a chassis mount shifter and I'm 43. Can you have the shifter shaft shorter so I can put the stock shift cover on?
The whole point is to not have to move your hand far from the steering wheel.
They have a carbon fiber version that is shorter I think, then there is the mini lever like mine, then a race lever that is taller than mine
ΤΟ ΚΑΛΎΤΕΡΟ
The car being hard to get into gear is the gear selector cables are out of sync
I have an RTD coming from DHL as we speak!
Heck yeah!
Ordered mine last week, how long did yours take to arrive?
3 weeks. You're going to love it man.
You still have the CDV on it? New to channel btw
Welcome to the channel! I actually took the CDV off 3 videos ago 😂. I think that added to the premature wear of the clutch so I took it off a little too late.
Fuck yeaa
Like!
What trans exactly are you hunting? e46 one?
I have an e46 m3 trans ready to go 👍.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Haha silly me, ofc you do:)
With shifts that fast, aren't you going to blow the synchros?
Maybe if the fluid was bad. I am not getting any grinding so it shouldn't be wearing it out too much. I also use slightly thicker viscosity trans fluid than what comes from factory. Most of the time my shifts are normal speed. I only shift fast like that when I'm doing pulls
Is that the race height shifter?
Mini
What diff do you have? I noticed it's a lsd
Just the stock m3 LSD 😂. It does the job but it is not the best thing out there
@@TreatsOnTheStreetsooh nice i thought they came open diff too lol bc I been looking for a diff for my e36 but I don't wanna weld it lol
Niiice, medium or tall shifter?
It's the mini lever 👍
Will they fit in a E39?
All of their fitment specs are on the website. Rtd-motorsports
Do you have a dssr as well ?
I do not but I'll be getting one for the 6 speed. I didn't want to buy one for the 5 speed to only use it for a few months. It isn't totally necessary but it helps get rid of some slop.
Is that your e92 ?
What bushings are you running?
Vorshlag motor mounts and revshift trans.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets 80a or 95a? Thanks for replying.
95. Definelitely notice some nvh from them so if that is a big deal you'll want something softer.
macaroni with the chicken strips?
🔥🔥
Was I the On,y viewer hoping the bone head smoking theyyres would go throughtbe side of the building?
Lsd or welded dif?
Lsd. Welded is probably better though. The lockup on the m3 LSD is only 25%.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets thanks
@@user-ek5qu6he6m cheaper too
If you have a welder buddy he can do it for free it costs nothing just need the equipment
Faster sheftes
damn i gotta start pausing the video and writing how it goes lol
1) 10/10 burnout gib more
2) Shortshifter is an okay thing but as said, chassis mounted shifters are the best there are. Only thing better/quicker are SMGs.
3) Going to 6spd is a lot of work and money, maybe just change the clutch for now. Video idea - get lightened flywheel, there's many options. I'm using m20 10.8 pounds one (i machined it, stock it's heavier). Different car. That bich revving hella quick. Trust me try it.
4) I see you're a spinnyboi, now on video too that's perfect keep up that spirit! lol
5) mentioning that, another video idea -- get open 3.38 diff and weld it. I just did it couple of days ago on my semi street - semi race car, it's fun as heck. Not too terrible to live with except when parking tightly. It's a bit embarrassing chirping if you wanna "look cool" for biches and your tires get melted but hey fvck it it's awesome. And you can swap it in and out in a day. Also those diffs are cheap so... yeah. It's awesome, try it.
6) so weird seeing you give your car to different people. My car is nice but it's a shitbox compared to yours. And i don't give it to Anyone ever.
7) Look into some quick release steering wheels with hub. Now when you shift fast, you'd quite enjoy having snappier steering command if that's correct phrasing. Most of them are shiny but for approx $450 you can get non obstrusive, short radius ones. Real good thing for performance driving. Also you'd be surprised how much more hand grip they have compared to the stock factory steering wheel.
P.S for the love of god get that red thing out and screw your factory M shifter knob on. It just doesn't belong there, not for my taste at all...
Keep it up Gav, loving the content! I also see you grew to 40k subs! That's fkn awesome! Much love man, cheers
ah also bushing on that old shortshifter can be easily replaced. Wobbly shifting part too with a little bit of work.
There's many kids loving e36 platform, and you've got quite a community here. Don't throw it away, gift it or donate. Someone would be very happy to have such piece :) gl
I assume you pay your tithing 😂 thank goodness she’s ok.
It should Not be hard to get your car into first. Its easy on my e36
I think it is due to the clutch on its last legs
ya that will do it! Your car has low mileage but the way you drive no surprise the clutch is gone lol btw I have a modded titanium silver 99 vert manual w / m3 tranny, m3 mid-pipe, and borla m3 exhaust. only 2.5 m52 though I wish I had ur engine
or u just change the bushings duuh
Notification squad!!!
Sell me ur old shifter
