Question about this product?

We're happy to help.

BMW has been known for its relatively poor shifter feeling, even in today's high performance M models; therefore, one of the most satisfying upgrades you can make to your BMW is to its factory shifter mechanism. The Rogue Engineering OCTANE Short Shift Kit represents years of experience and research; RE continues to design and build the best short shift kits on the market.

Shifter Lever Upper
The RE OCTANE features a CNC-machined 303 stainless steel upper section. This adds 150g more to the top of the shift lever (compared to aluminum), helping to improve shifter feel. This small increase in mass compliments the incorporated WSR (weighted selector rod; not available on all models). The outside profile has been designed to mimic the factory lever. This means that you can use your factory (including illuminated) shift knob.

Lowering NVH
Isolating noise and vibration with a custom molded rubber insert, the OCTANE shifter minimizes NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) more than any other shifter on the market. By designing specific characteristics into the insert, unwanted shifter free play is minimized without excessive harshness. The OCTANE shift lever has 308% more vibration-absorbing material than its closest competitor.

Shift Lever Lower
The stainless steel lower section of the shifter lever is threaded to integrate with the pivot ball, eliminating circlips for pivot ball position. The distance is pre-set by Rogue Engineering.

Pivot Ball and Pivot Bushing
A stainless pivot ball offers durability in addition to the unique adjustable feature. The lower pivot bushings are Delrin, which has proven to be a heat resistant and excellent material for this position.

Smooth Operator
The OCTANE features Rogue Engineering's exclusive Self-Adjusting Pivot Point (SAPP). Most other shifters (including the factory) rely on a pivot assembly that binds when new and requires a break-in period, after which unwanted play is introduced. The SAPP eliminates this break-in period, allowing the pivot to move freely at all times. Its wave spring mechanism continually loads the pivot assembly with a consistent force, compensating for bushing wear, with no intricate mechanisms that can fail.
