IainR 55 Report post Posted April 15, 2020 Looking to sell on the knob pictured below. It's got some wear that I've done my best to highlight in the photos. Looking to get $80. Would prefer someone local to Wellington as contactless pick-up could be arranged during the lockdown. No shifter boot included. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m pretty sure that’s not an M Performance part, nor even a BMW part. There’s not enough ///M badges on it for a start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks to be a bit too short to be a smooth action..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks to be a bit too short to be a smooth action..? It is very short! I think I may have a SSK kit on the car so although it looked good, I just couldn't get comfortable with it. I swapped it out for a 'Weighted Broomstick' part No. 25117896884 which I'm far happier with. I think it actually suits the interior better too. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2156 Report post Posted April 15, 2020 The factory Msport knob is a leather job with M on it, your cars build sheet is my ones clone (other than the cruise control which is rare) https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/ps88744 34 minutes ago, IainR said: It is very short!

The heavy weight knobs do seem much better, I didnt expect much from the storm motorworks one I just stuck in mine (other than not falling apart like the factory one) but its really improved the gear change feel.
