If you could negotiate a volume purchase and offer them for a bit less, I think there would be some interest and yet another option to add to your list of goodies.

EAS has stopped producing it due to lack of interest fyi.

Hey ironic...just one thing about the non m dct knob...what color is the lighting...cuz ive seen some pics with the P, R, N etc in orange and the sides being green...but does it look awkward..i mean most of the lighting in the car is orange and then the odd green...thanks

They should have just dropped the price. The knobs look awesome in CF and more people would probably have bought 'em.

The site is looking great ! I'm definitely considering purchasing a full PNP kit with a boot from ya. Can I use the manual shift boot instead of using the automatic one with the faceplate?

3urger328i · 11-13-2008, 04:50 PM

Hey Ironic. Quick question:
I have an Automatic. I love the Alacantra. Will the MT Alacantra boot fit my car. I want to get a full PnP kit and an additional boot. But I'll only get an additional boot if the Alacantra manuel boot will fit my car and you'll be able to make it fit. Thanks bro

it's still going to be about 2 weeks because the parts still have to come from germany and then i have to assemble them. I'll continue to keep you guys posted, it's just a lot of transit time otherwise it'll only take me one weekend to do the kits.

Any word on that M3 Knob? Has it arrived yet?

I saw an M3 w/DCT on Saturday and had an up-close look/feel at it and it was great.

Keep me posted...

Thanks,
GDR
