Right... so, had a spare weekend so yesterday sat fro about 2 hours and made the necessary wiring for retrofitting the M5 gear knob... today, besides it chucking it down, I just went and installed it and everything works a treat except... the gear knob isn't illuminating! Foolishly, I haven't made any connections for the lead coming from the gear knob to make it light up..
Either way, I'm not sure I'm that keen on it. Don't get me wrong, it looks fecking cool but I sort of missed my performance gear stick and I'm going to sell the M5 gear stick and the wiring kit, which will be plug and play. On classifieds now.
I can also run anybody through on how to install but it takes less than 15m from start to finish. All the hard work is done making the actual wiring.
If there's any interest, let me know.

If anyone wishes to do this... it costs:
M5 gear stick - £140
Wiring - £50 approx.
Up for grabs
