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 our custom molded rubber insert, the OCTANE shifter continues to both minimize the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) more than any other shifter on the market. By being able to design specific characteristics into the insert, we are able to minimize unwanted shifter free play while minimizing excessive harshness. Without sufficient material to address NVH issues in the driveline, you wind up with a shifter that vibrates and buzzes. The OCTANE shift lever has 308% more vibration-absorbing material than its closest competitor. Shifter "isolation" should not be mistaken for "vibration-absorbing;" Just because a shift lever is built to be "isolated" does not mean it has adequate materials to both acoustically dampen or absorb vibrations.
Shift Lever Lower
The stainless steel lower section of the shifter lever is threaded, to integrate with the pivot ball. This means the elimination of circlips for pivot ball position! The distance will be pre-set by Rogue Engineering.
Pivot Ball and Pivot Bushing
Using a stainless pivot ball offers durability in addition to the unique adjustable feature. We have changed the lower pivot bushings to Delrin, which has proven to be a heat resistant as well as excellent material for use in this position.
Smooth Operator
The latest innovation implemented to the OCTANE short shifter is our exclusive Self-Adjusting Pivot Point. Most other shifters (including the factory), rely on a pivot assembly that binds when new, requiring a "break-in" period to allow for new washers and clips to wear in. By the time these parts have "broken-in", unwanted play is now introduced, resulting in a potentially sloppy shifter feel.
Rogue Engineering's SAPP eliminates this break-in period, allowing the pivot to move freely at all times. The unique wave spring mechanism used in the SAPP removes any play in the pivot assembly, which continually loads the pivot assembly with a consistent force, compensating for bushing wear. The effectiveness of the SAPP is also enhanced by its simplicity, as there are no intricate mechanisms that can fail.
