CAE BMW E30 E36 E46 Street Edition Ultra Shifter
The CAE Street Edition Ultra Shifter is the benchmark BMW short shifter for road and track.

Ideal for BMW 320i, 325i, M3 and Z3M owners looking for a premium short throw shifter. Suitable for both 5-speed and 6-speed Getrag or ZF transmissions, standard H pattern or dog-leg gearboxes.
