Changed out the old shifter knob today to new style

Gusta937 · 12-10-2015, 09:57 PM

Switched to the new shifter look gonna see how I like it for a little might go back to original what do you guys think?

Gusta937 · 12-10-2015, 10:02 PM

Old shifter

Blindside_137 · 12-10-2015, 10:46 PM

I honestly prefer the simple and cleaner look of old

Efini · 12-10-2015, 11:39 PM

yea older one looks better

mmmnot · 12-11-2015, 12:02 AM

+3

hOlykamOtie* · 12-11-2015, 12:16 AM

Old is more gusta!

classyfast · 12-11-2015, 12:32 AM

Older one and take the red stickers off the emblem on the wheel. Lol. Just my opinion but I think messing with the BMW emblem is sacrilege.

Pumper · 12-11-2015, 03:11 AM

The new one just does not fit in the e90 interior. Looks cheap.

To each their own.

I would prefer the simple look of the old shift knob or go BMW performance shift knob.

SHEEDI · 12-11-2015, 08:11 AM

this would look better

wdeerfield · 12-11-2015, 08:30 AM

the f series shifter does not sit right in the e90. it looks like it sits too high. some people have cut the stalk to fix this but also the Park button doesnt work either... sits about as high and awkard as the new x1 shifter

ditto

ditto (or is there another word for using ditto a 2nd time, which almost seems redundant, in and of itself)

E90joee · 12-11-2015, 10:14 AM

I had the same setup op and i liked it even though it does look a little high i got used to it...try to find a manual boot itll look way better! I went with the alcantara one it looked sweet

330xtrai · 12-11-2015, 10:34 AM

Looks good but I'm personally not a fan that it doesn't function the way it looks. Also a manual boot would help too

335iOnATuesday · 12-11-2015, 01:00 PM

I like it, but does it work how it would in a newer model bmw? or it's purely aesthetic.

lee.minwoo_ · 12-12-2015, 03:25 PM

If you like the New shifter, perhaps you can cut the shaft shorter so it'll fit nicely. Right now it looks too tall and out of place in the aesthetics of the interior.

As for OP, I always go back and forth on my opinion of it. I like the actual look of it, but it just feels 'off' in the E9X. It seems to clash with the overall aesthetics of our generation--definitely a love-hate relationship going on with it.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

sunsin · 12-13-2015, 02:36 PM

I think new one looks better, having the symbols (P, R, D etc) is a littler redundant on both the car and the nob

nice change =]

richk84 · 12-13-2015, 03:53 PM

This is the one I fitted to my car. Didn't have to cut the base either
