Swap 2013 335i Gear Shifter for 335is Gear Shifter?

RyDog · 03-19-2020, 10:00 PM

Hey all,

I've noticed that the 335is has a much newer-looking gear shifter than mine (I have a 2013 335i M-Sport). Is there anyway to swap the two without leaving a trace of this change (other than the fact that my badge is missing an "s")? lol

And if it is possible, who would even undertake this task? I doubt the dealer would, and I don't trust my own knowledge to pull it off myself.

Thanks!

There is a company called MotiveMods who specializes in this. It's a complete kit. It may not work exactly like the DCT Shifter or M Shifter, but it will look almost identical, and even light up the way. Lots of options on the install kits. Here is a link to the page for E90's:

I'm sure there is a way to do it on your own as this is a bit on the pricey side, but I wouldn't want to attempt it.
