Here is my feedback - M3 Shifter in Alpina B3 Biturbo



Adapting the M3 Shifter and boot:

I havent connected the lighting yet, so these are preliminary pics of the basic installation. I have started by adapting the M3 shifter by cutting of the M3 shiftboot, and then "peeled" the M3 knob through the standard OEM steptronic boot - fastened with cable ties and done.






Install:

Very simple - the attached boot slots right into the plate from the automatic gearbox


Then did a little testdrive to check all is working as it should - and I am quite happy with it so far...

Summary
I really like it, didnt think it would come out this well. The black face of the shifter also works quite nicely with the highgloss black interior of my Alpina B3. Since this shifter was used and is a little scratched, I am now contemplating whether to go for the real deal and do it properly with a new shifter and the full installation including wiring.
