I personally like the perforated knob in the first picture. It feels great in your hands and the leather boot is a higher quality leather than the stock boot so it looks great.
The performance knob has a nice feel with the Alcantara leather on it and it matches the iDrive knob so it looks great as well but, it just felt a little bit too small for me and I worried that it might slip out of my hands. Plus I felt that after a while the Alcantara leather would get dirty and wear quickly. It is a completely different look especially if you match it up with the Alcantara boot that it comes with.
The bottom line, it's personal preference but I really like the first knob.
