Overview

Installing a quick shifter or short shifter on your BMW E46 often leaves an exposed opening where the factory shift boot no longer fits.

The Rendition BMW E46 Shift Boot Cover is a precision snap-in panel designed to cleanly cover that gap, restoring an OEM+ finish to the center console after shifter upgrades.

Available in OEM black grain, suede-wrapped, or real carbon fiber to match both street and track builds.

Main Feature
  • Covers the exposed E46 console opening after a short-shifter installation
  • Snaps into the factory mounting points
  • Rigid, heat-resistant polycarbonate panel
  • Polycarbonate, suede-wrapped and carbon fiber finishes
  • Left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive versions
  • Helps reduce noise entering through the exposed opening
