New gear knob installed!

i dont like the perforated finish on the M knob. Also it comes with the gaitor and costs about 3x as much!

This one is heavier, similar in size and much cheaper.

Just recieved mine. (very fast shipping!!)

Installed it and love the look and feel!

Before this topic I was considering the M-Sport one, but given it comes with gator and costs like £100+ I was put off.

This however is perfect!

this gearknob at £47... is substantially better value than E90 exhaust trims!!! in both look, feel and quality.

Tell me about it!

Partially wishing Id never bother with the Exhaust <_<

i definitely wish i hadnt bothered.. the ebay cheapies i had on before, were just as good, and cost me £20 all in.

here i thought i was doing the good thing and going OEM. Thought i'd get the nice clean finish that the 6 cylinder exhausts used to have on the E46

Ordered on the wednesday, received on the thursday and fitted today! It was a pain getting it off. In the end i had to stick it in 2nd gear and jump in the back and pull. Well worth it though.
