I e-mailed the seller, and he said same price for E90. $175.00. Bargain compared to AC Schnitzer

So anyone own one of these? Seen one? etc...

Got the picture from someone on E46fanatics.

you would consider putting that on your car

It just seems like you would be doing some advertising for another company... it provides no more function than the stock one...

KennyVendetta · 07-09-2006, 08:31 PM

I'm not feelin' it.

I am not joking, but I really like the color scheme from the Hartge logo. The shift knob matched with Hartge floor mats might work.

If does not do anything functional wise, however I am not feeling the faux metal of the stock shift knob with my silver carbon fiber interior.

I was going to get the AC Schnitzer silver carbon fiber shift knob, but AC Schnitzer uses a 1 x 1 weave, whereas I have a 2 x 2 weave. So, I won't be spending $400 on a shift knob that doesn't match.

Since there is a small selection for Steptronic shift knobs, my other thought is sending the stock knob to FiberDesign in California and have them wrap it in silver carbon fiber. But, I heard they take a while. I don't know what I want, but I know I don't want to keep the stock shift knob

I hate it, why would someone taint their e46 with that.

EDIT : Unless they were thinking they should complete the hartge overall look... (But who does that when you have ACS & RD)

Yes...You are right on playa, I should really enliven my daily one hour bumper to bumper commute by rowing a gearbox. Because my commute is, well awesome as it is, but just think...the addition of shifting my own gears when I am dead tired - that will truly make me cool. And, as long as I am cool in your eyes, then it is totally worth it. Thank you for opening my eyes. With your words of wisdom, now you'll be cool in my eyes.

I got one......and I don't expect anything from it......
It just look a whole lot better if you have Hartge Wheel set, Spoiler, Handbreak cover, floormat, Steering wheel, Pedal set, CF Mirrors installed:rocks: :rocks: :rocks:

Nothing wrong with an A/T.

I love mine!

My need to control has finally worn off.

And now I can relax!

Not being cool is okay with me.
