Question: Has BMW come out with a new/replacement Aluminum shift knob for the M5 car?

I recall that the original illuminated 6 speed aluminum shift knob had problems, since it would peel over time. I then heard that BMW replaced this particular shift knob, with the leather shift knob. I just noticed this BMW part number (25 11 2 228 905) & (25 11 2 282 402) for the aluminum shift knob. Is this the original "first version" that they came out with, and then replaced with the leather shift knob? Or is the mentioned part numbers a newer version, of the illuminated shift knob by BMW ?
Can any of you guys shed some light on this matter?
Thanks a lot.
Robert

I can only confirm that the 2003 has an illuminated "leather" shift knob.

i just came back from the dealer, where i requested a replacement for my aluminum shift knob, and they replaced with the leather knob (scratched it while they installed it - great). i asked what was up, they said that the replacement part was only available in leather. ditto on the handbrake.
