Did it just fall off or was his knob 'pulled off' ?

He pulled his knob off while changing gear. Not easy to do while your driving

Nice to see nobody is being immature in this thread about the use of the word knob. *grin*

Becaue I'm bored I thought I'd look into fitting the illuminated knob from an E92 M3, my dealer gave me a price of £122 with gaiter, but the parts fella couldn't say if it had any wire attached, becaue he was working from a CD Rom.

I was wondering if anyone else had looked into doing this?

Your getting your knobs mixed up Helen,the one pictured does not vibrate!

You really don't need lights on your knob it's not a bloody Christmas Tree.

If you must change it go for the one that is the right length and feels right in your hands. I think you should learn to live with what you were given as the M3 may have a longer shaft for a reason as it requires more length to shift it through the gate easily.

On Porsche you can get a shorter shift option - but when the car is cold apparently it's a right pain to move it and can almost be a 2 handed job.

Hotcoupe, Gear sticks may be personal taste, IMO once you have driven a car for a couple of weeks you just get used to it. I owned various E46's all manual. The SE gearstick I far prefered to the Sports as it was longer. My Boxster had a long throw also and I personally felt it was the best shift ever on any car when warm.

What I am saying is it's all down to feel and personal choice.

Did it get "pulled" off or was it "jerked" off?
