Hi all

I purchased a new illuminated gear knob a few years ago for the m3 and I had to make a new wiring loom on the car as a previous owner had removed the female plug and wires. At the moment I have just pushed in a bullet connector on both terminals as I do not want to cut the original plug off.

I have looked online but not drawn up much info but does anyone know the part numbers for the female loom plug and the 2 pins? So that I can finish this job correctly. Failing that I was thinking of
Splicing into my loom and fitting a 2 pin connector like a optimate plug or something similair to the orignal bmw plug.

I looked online and This is what I need, The loom for this is in the USA $39.00

I was hoping to get the plug and pins for a few quid from bmw if I have part numbers?

Yes That would be the whole loom, I was hoping to get the plug and pins only as being a cheap ass,

Well I might as well phone BMW tomorrow and get a price for it but I recon its going to be silly money, Pretty sure I asked before and they were NLA.
