{"product_id":"e39-stage-ii-racing-short-shifter","title":"E39 Stage II Racing Short Shifter","description":"The AKG Motorsport BMW E39 Stage II Racing Short Shifter is the original chassis\/tunnel-mounted short shifter engineered for precision and reliability. This two-piece design replaces the entire stock shifter assembly with a precision CNC-machined billet aluminum unit that mounts directly to the chassis tunnel. It utilizes a built-in, high-precision, race-spec spherical bearing, replacing the stock plastic ball and cup design.\n\nThe shifter is constructed from robust materials: the base plate and housing cup are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, and the shift lever is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum. Weighing only 0.86kg, it is designed for strength and minimal weight, offering the shortest available throw for a race-focused experience. The design eliminates all movement found in the stock shifter, ensuring precise and solid shifter travel, even under load or during turns. The shift lever position is raised for improved ergonomics during repetitive, quick shifts.\n\nInstallation is designed to be a direct bolt-on to the E39 chassis, requiring no alignment or drilling. However, upgraded transmission mounts are required due to the solid-mount design. Additionally, upgrading the stock selector rod to AKG's Double Shear Selector Rod is recommended to eliminate selector rod movement. A tall black or short white Delrin shift knob is included with the shifter. This product is recommended for RACE\/TRACK use and is fully warrantied for the lifetime of the original owner.\n\nDesigned for the following models: BMW E39 (1996-2003) 525, 528, 530, 540, M5.","brand":"AKG Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686871363896,"sku":"AKG-QS239-W","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662147876.webp?v=1784877789","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/e39-stage-ii-racing-short-shifter","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
