Something that also game to my attention is that the X5M uses the same still shifter and does not have a DTC.

The answer could be there as well but that would require coding.

You purchased a X5 shifter? Thought you said M5?

I purchased a M5 shifter.

Just referring to the X5M meaning that the shifter can probably be coded and still work on a non DTC transmission.

Seeing this makes me wonder about the possibility of putting a f8x dct transmission into a f3x 🤔

Don't transmissions fall under the CAS/EWS umbrellas now, too? Have fun paying for that part lol.

Any update on getting rid off error code?

[awmenard]

Seriously my schedule hasn't worked for me to bring it to get it coded out.

Will try this week.

When someone is hung ho about it, says twice they are working on it over 2 months and then no posts, then it’s a sign off no success instead of bragging rights.

Another person says it’s not really a DCT shifter anyway. He just transplanted the F80 stick on a F30 Shift Assembly, which is probably what others have done. Of course positions would not be correct, but you got the look you want.

I still prefer my ceramic sports shifter.

From all the Pics I've seen looks like you will need to add a manual Park button.

Here are some Pics I found Online, F80 shifter on F30.

Hey man did you finally found the way to do it ? I really want that

I think Kies Motorsport did this and ran into problems. Here is the youtube video... you can take it for what it's worth but I don't think, given the problem that he ran into, was worth the effort of installing one.

Does anyone know how to make the d/s light come up on the shifter when in drive ?

Got everything to work that's my last step when putting the shifter in drive no light comes on ?

[sgm.e90]

Honestly I feel like the e6x SMG shift knob could be a better candidate…but getting that to fit would require custom hardware and mounts and wiring. But unsure if it’ll throw the weird error codes.

I put a different shifter on my car

Wow looks nice and neat especially gear indicator light.

Can you share how did you do it or where you bought it?

have you managed to get Sports/Manual mode to work?

i have tried this in a F36 today with a M2 Comp GWS.

I have managed to get Drive to function N and also Reverse with lights on all modes just no Sports/Manual mode function.

I have looked at all the possibilities including VO coding with OG M2 FA and still nothing, i can flash it so it reacts same as 2TB but where is the fun in that.

Anyone got any ideas? has opp got sports and manual mode to work?

I know those shifters don't come with the 'park' button but maybe there's a way to tap into the lower button on the shifter itself? Maybe a retrofit plug for the park button can be done?

This is the shifter I saw and it has that button in the bottom that maybe we can figure out to tap into to make the park button work. Or am I completely wrong lol

I’m sure everyone found this out - but Kies Motorsports goes over the pros/cons. Basically it can work for a limited amount of time. If you buy the f80 assembly and removed the top half / you can retrofit the shifter head. His video is very in depth.
