Yep,is the right one.

But for a bit more you get from german ebay the illuminated one...

 

[M55555]

Yes, that is the weighted ZHP knob.

We pay $65 USD shipped here in the states, and I believe right now £44.99 translates to about $71 USD so it's priced about the same.

Thanks for the link. Do you read German? Will the seller ship to the US? Does the listing indicate shipping charge to the US? Thanks for any additional info that you can provide.

No idea if he ships to the US,but given ships to all over europe,I bet he does.
Best bet is to contact him,me thinks!

Thanks for the great find! Alternatively, you can just plug the item number into ebay.com (US site) and at least some of it will show in English.

Sucks for those who have the integrated shift boot/knob (like me).

Thanks buddy. I just picked up one from this seller with plenty of copying, pasting and help from online translators.

Message him on ebay first to ask how much shipping is. It was €5.90 to ship to Canada. I imagine it will be the same or about the same for the US... for those of you potential American buyers.

Then when you're checking out, make to fill out the shipping cost as "5,90" and not "5.90" as I did multiple times until the lightbulb came on LOL. Even with the PayPal currency conversion gouging, it still ends up being quite a deal compared to the alternative(s).

Sucks for those who have the integrated shift boot/knob (like me).

If you're replacing the knob you can cut your old boot off and reuse it. Once you get it on the shifter you'd never know it wasn't one piece.

The other thing you can do is search eBay UK for the BMW shift boots. There is a supplier that had good quality shift and handbrake boots in different color leather with different color stitching to even include the M colors.

The illuminated one is self made,as you can not buy it from BMW.
