5-series auto knob retrofit?

3sheets · 02-17-2008, 09:05 PM

People,
Here's a pic of the new auto knob for the '07/'08 5-series. IMO, it would compliment the e90 interior very nicely. Was wondering if it's possible to swap out our auto knobs for this one?

99% positive that it's not possible. For instance, how do you get rid off e-brake handle?

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I suppose it was just wishful thinking on my part.
Though it would look nice..

it is a whole differen concept, since the 5.6 and X5 now have an electronic shifter knob, opposed to your "manual" gear shi9ft lever.
Answer no.
Or maybe with superglue..... :-)
