Shift Knob Replacement

Hey guys,

So I have a 2007 E92 335i and I've always thought the OEM shift knob is wayyy too high (and i always drive in manual) so I was wondering if you guys think this shift knob would work on my car:

Thanks,
PJ

**EDIT** Sorry I thought I mentioned it but my car is an automatic, hence why I said I always drive in manual (steptronic) lol

I know momo is european, so I'm sure that it would fit, but I would certainly call them to ask.

Have you looked at the BMW ZHP knob? It is seriously amazing, especially combined with an ssk!

+1, OEM ZHP knob is best knob hands down IMHO.

Nope, get a new car with a 3rd clutch pedal. We assumed you had 6MT

Aw man haha. Yeah I wish my car was a 6MT... I had no choice So does anyone for sure know if the MOMO will work with my car? I believe a long time ago one of the vendors said it would but I'm not positive.

I dont think so.
I think you have two options

1: Bmw performance auto shift knob
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462
2: Retrofiting an M5 smg shift knob

Have you looked into the SMG knob from the 650i. I think it's way better looking than the one from the M5 / M6

and as far as the smg knob from the 650i sport...Its actually for the new dct transmission that the 650i and the z4 have. I like it better as well but in order to lower the height of that knob you would need to cut the transmission stalk and I dont think he wants to do that.

Yeah I'm over that haha. Alright thanks man. I was looking for a knob that was shorter than the OEM. I'm going to try the MOMO one. Worst case if it doesn't work I'll just return it. Ill keep you guys updated!
