M Sport gear knob

poggy · 03-14-2015, 04:21 AM

Hi
Has anyone fitted the M-sport gear knob pt no. 25117896886 - it's the short, non perforated one.

Thanks

Phil325i · 03-14-2015, 04:24 AM

Yes I have.

poggy · 03-14-2015, 04:26 AM

Cool thanks

Is there any faffing req'd or is it simply remove old, install new?
Is the gaiter attached to the old one?

Ta very much

Mine came without gaiter, so I had to attach the previous MSport gaiter to it using a cable tie (underneath of course!). After pulling off the old knob, unclip the base of the gaiter, fold back to reveal the underside of the gaiter, and attach to the base of the new knob via a cable tie.

Had one of these in my E46 330d and I've got one in my E39 M5, lovely gear knob, also weighted, feels nice.

I changed my standard m sport knob for this one. Feels 100 times better, much nicer to hold

I did a straight swap with my SE one. It's soooooo much better.

what the difference between the one you posted and this msport knob? I want this one but they are super expensive.

The one the OP pictured was originally for the E46 Clubsport, but then migrated to the rest of the facelifted E46 Sport models, but a knob of the same design with illumination is now fitted in the F10 M5.

The one you've pictured was the E90 M Sport knob and also in the 1 Series IIRC.

Having had this MSport one as factory fit and swapped to the design pictured by the OP, I'd say deffo go for his, not yours. Much nicer on the hand and fractionally shorter too.

Thought the M sport one was lit up? did you need a power supply to it?

Depends which version you get, the E46 version is cheaper, weighted & not illuminated, the F10 M5 version is the illuminated version and you'll need to run power to it.

I have the non-illuminated version in my E39 M5
