///M leather boot for shift knob

I won this on ebay, does anyone know if this is OEM product and if it will fit the E90. I have the M knob, will I be able to switch out the boots? Thanks.

Don't mean to be captain obvious, but it does say that it will fit all e90s and also 'fits all bmws'. I can't really tell the shape judging by that picture though. Never seen it before, so I'm skeptical about it being OEM, but I'm no professional. Try it out and let us know!

It was 38.00 with shipping. The dollars value blows, so the exchange rate is not in our favor.

does anyone know if the M manual shifter knob wud fit in place of the auto knob? ive seen lotta ppl with auto's getting board with their knob, and switching to more comfortable things, and the m knob looks like it wud be really comfortable with that perforated leather.
i think it shud right? the auto knob pops right off, and pop in the m knob into place... only thing it wud be missing is the click button on the auto knob, which wudnt really be that much different anyway? can anyone confirm?

um, it claims to fit all manual transmission BMWs.

For some reason, I dont think an e30 and an e90 are using the same shift boot.

just another reason i dont buy things off ebay.

First pic.

He said he got it customed. Maybe you can ask for the same thing. I think it looks pretty PIMP. Much better than the one on ebay. I hope you get a refund. The thing looks like a POS.
