but the 6 speed version they have doesn't look like the E39 M5 stock knob.. it's got the M colors on the corner only.. I think I'll give them a call on Monday and see what they say

Here's the one that tfung and Pelle were talking about.



I like the concept! If it had the illuminated patterns PLUS the center was exactly like the stock one then I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Is carbon fibre better? or is that purely looks and novelty?

I find it odd if that is the only carbon fibre element in the cabin.

I know it's totally personal, but I've seen carbon fibre trims used extensively in the SLK, Murceilego, and the 966TT, and it does nothing for me.

oh the "highly" intertaining price of carbon fibre.... looks cool, but for the money? questionable.... i personally like carbon fibre and if used on the proper peices can reduce a lot of weight... i dont know how much your shift knobs weigh but i bet its alot!!!

Conversely, I tried a 2lb (yes, that's right) shifter in a new e46 m3 - and WOW. It's actually pretty cool, although I wonder about long-term wrist damage

can't remember who made it.

incidentally, the leather shift-boot in the m5 is integrated into the shifter, is it not? At least on the aluminum (not sure about thw wood). If that's the case, wouldn't you need a new boot also?
