BMW Direct-fit kits explained
|
BMW Shifter can be installed directly on top of a tunnel using the universal fit pad that comes with every BMW shifter by default. This method works great and the shifter holds really well. The process: drilling holes in the tunnel, searching for bolts, making dustcover, can sometimes be cumbersome and hard not to mention take a really long time. That’s why we’ve designed the Direct fit kit. They are made individually for each BMW chassis (you can learn more about chassis using table below) i.e E36, E46, etc. and there are different pads for Standard and PRO shifter versions (differences of BMW shifters can be found here). All you need to do to use the direct fit kit by COOLERWORX is:
That’s it! No drilling of holes, no screwing or other lengthy and tiresome operations. It’s a simple and easy installation! |

When ordering shifter from us you may be confused about what E36 and other codes like this means. Fear no more! It is very easy. BMW models and chassis have internal codes to easily tell them apart. These stared as E-codes, later got on to F-codes and now even G-codes. Every BMW production model, and even some prototypes and concept cars, are given a type designation. By using this table below you can easily find your car chassis code.
