It's a fantastic mod and I love mine." - M3post user. You switch for a more responsive and better feeling shifter that's also much closer to your hands on the wheel. "You aren't really switching to the CAE for faster shifts per say. If you've never used one, you have no idea." - M3post user.
The CAE shifter isn't your average aftermarket shifter. "The stock shifter is a POS after driving with the CAE.
