Does anyone know where to get an illuminated gearknob (the one with the 3 stripes on the top left NOT the one with the ///M in the middle of the numbers)?
I want to keep it original!
Thanks fellas!

Yeah my current one is the original with the 3 big stripes on the left. It is past its sell by date so I want to get a new one.robbo86 wrote:They did two?
There are plenty of ///M-in-the-middle-of-the-numbers ones on ebay etc but none of the original ones...

Fair enough, didnt know the ones with the m in the middle were non original, but figured something about them must be different to get round the copyrighting

Some gear knobs with an M in the middle are original as are the 3 striped ones its just the only version that is copied is the M type.robbo86 wrote:Fair enough, didnt know the ones with the m in the middle were non original, but figured something about them must be different to get round the copyrighting

Oh right, was thinking of perhaps putting one on my car once I get my engine in and in fine fettle. Easy to wire up do you know?Some gear knobs with an M in the middle are original as are the 3 striped ones its just the only version that is copied is the M type.

Dont know about wiring it up, it looks very straightforward + splice into the ashtray light probably and - off the chassis somewhere. There shouldn't be any great difficulty... The dealer has come back to me in the BMW official parts section - the striped version is no longer available... I'll just have to make do with the ///M version

and you can also buy them with the leather gaiter attached or without. i think bss325i said a while back the one with gaiter is about £90. they look great whichever one you choose

mtec1 and mtec2 types. both types of gearknob centre caps are easily available (from the bmw parts suppliers at gaydon, etc) and on good old ebay.robbo86 wrote:They did two?

Think I prefer the one with me M in the middle TBH but thats just me. I want to buy one after I have my new engine in as well.
