weighted leather gear knob

[steve_k]

morning folks.

if anyone is looking for a weighted leather gear knob (that doesn't cost £100+) then have a look at weighted knobs on ebay.

i've just got myself a mushroom style (m-tech 1 sport) weighted gear knob from them for £63 incl p+p.

the leather is very soft & subtle & it weighs in at a hefty 7.3oz (210+ grams),
for the price you can't go wrong.

they supply push on & screw on knobs for everything form the E9 up to the E90 & include hartge (the one i got), alpina, acs, ///M etc.

I've been looking at these - do they actually feel very different to use?

yes they do, they can feel a bit top heavy but best when combined with a short shifter & dssr (i've got a B&M short shifter & garagistic dssr & the weighted knob removes the notchiness from the dssr & S/S.

Ah OK. I've got a Z3 1.9 shifter to go on when I can find time so I may buy one for when I get it done. Thanks, dude

Looks nice, these pictures on eBay always concerned me because never look like the pictures on the advert

i know what you mean, i was a bit apprehensive but mine looked exactly the same as in the ebay pics,
not had chance to get any pic's of the one i got yet as it's currently buried in the car.

It's slightly narrower at the top than standard & slightly taller as well but feels pretty good in the hand.

Also the weight is pretty good at 7.3oz.

I'm happy with it.

Looks nice that, cheers Steve

Cheers mate, doesn’t look too bad. I think I can live with that need the weight increase!

Is the Hartge logo not printed correctly or is that just glare?
