Nice work - any more pics Pete?

scottishpete · 08-04-2009, 07:13 AM

No more pics yet as just shoved it on then went to dentist lol

Will take better pics later

Dr Dave · 08-04-2009, 07:18 AM

So that came as a complete item, the big black plastic bit that sits on the central trim panel aswell? If so that's not bad for £86. Was it from a dealer?

Autoshift knob £56
Leather/Alc gator £30

Bought from BMW

Dr Dave · 08-04-2009, 10:53 AM

I need that. If/when you have the time for more pics I'd be very grateful.

Part numbers from your sales invoice could be handy just to make sure I get the right items.

Thanks Pete, top man

malcolm · 08-04-2009, 04:53 PM

That looks very nice, didn't know you could change the gear stick on the auto.

doughboy · 08-05-2009, 03:37 AM

It make the box change gear quicker too with all that alcantara....

MOB · 08-05-2009, 08:31 AM

Looks nice.

I am alone in thinking that BMW have lost their way a little bit if they are selling 'performance' auto gear selector knobs?

Does it let you select 'drive' or 'reverse' any quicker?

I'm sure BMW will be releasing the matching pipe and alcantara slippers for all those "performance" auto drivers soon.
