Guest Andrew Report post Posted March 22, 2006 get the e36 knob - the win. Like 30 bucks from the stealer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 The boot and knob are one piece. You have to cut it to do put new knob on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 $30? no way. entry level one is like $60 I ended up paying about $120 for the leather one with a M logo... only E36 knob that I could get over night... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 one piece? they aint...just pull the knob straight up and it should be sweet. dont hit yourself in the face Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) The leather from the boot is the same leather that forms the knob. This is ok, I am only after the badge thing. Edited March 22, 2006 by m325i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) crap pic, but that leather is all one piece, the 'line' is just the hard knob under the leather. Dealer is reasonable @ $22, but its the one with an M in the middle. i want the one like i have with m stripes on the left, but they cant get that one.
