Alternative Automatic Shift Knobs?

I’ve seen people use these. Doesn’t look too bad. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1056b294302f16

I would NOT recommend those. They fit super awkward, feel cheap as hell, and stick up far too high.

What's so awkward?

It does look a bit high and somewhat doesn't go with the cars interior theme.

Perhaps the black version would blend in a bit better, rather than silver.

Mostly that the park button doesn't work. Especially since I have an X4 with the real knob, would get annoying fast. I vote for the performance knob in alcantara/aluminum.

Performance shift knob & parking break. They look best with matching steering wheel trim.

Correct me if I wrong but I think even the official sport knob is plastic. Am I wrong and it’s real metal aluminum?!

The performance shifter uses the same material that the other knobs use.
