BMW E46 M3 Shifter Bushing Upgrade DIY (2001-2006 BMW M3)

►Within the linkage that connects the shifter inside the car to the gears inside the transmission, there are a series of bushings keeping everything in the right place. You'll need to replace those shift bushings with enough use, as they'll have gone loose and sloppy. Replacing the shifter bushings should make the 6-speed manual a much more enjoyable transmission as the shifts become tight and precise.

Watch along as Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Wizard, tackles a shift bushing replacement in a BMW E46 M3.
