Gear Knob and Boot for 325i Sport

Post Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:04 am

I have an '88 325i Sport with a well and truly worn out gear knob and boot (it's a single unit), understandable given the age of the car.

After much Googling I've been unable to find any replacements apart from one on Turner Motorsport, and it's listed as being left and drive only (it also illuminates which I'm not too keen on). Does anyone know where I can track down an OEM unit?

BMW sell the knob still

check out www.etk.cc for part numbers or call

or you could try to change the all in one leather yourself as replacements are not expensive and good quality in my experience

Are they the one piece ones available from BMW Jim?

BMW have the all in one knobs (tech 2 style not tech 1) available.

Thanks for this! I'm now trying to narrow down which one is the right one for my model.

Should be part 13

I know it looks like a tech 1 knob but it's actually a tech 2 version

Thanks for that, this might be a stupid question but if I just order #13 is that all I need? Not sure if I need to order the top bit with the gear position diagram separately.

yes i think you need to order the badge also, they are about a tenner

best to call James at Cotswolds and double check though
