OEM BMW Performance Auto Shift Knob Installed

Stinger · 07-02-2009, 10:40 AM

There is a new option for us Automatic owners, a BMW Performance Auto Shift Knob. Details here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=242330

Here are some pics after installing it this morning. My impression is that it is a bit thicker, as you can see in the photos, and the leather grain is smoother than stock on the boot. I think it looks pretty nice and goes very well with the aluminum trim.

RE: Install. It is super easy. I just put the car in Neutral pulled up on the old shifter and it came out easily. Then you just pinch the boot out, also simple. You don't need a DIY for this, it is so simple. Just pull and off you go.

Tischer site says this is still a "pre-order". Where did you get this from??

lpphreakx06 · 07-02-2009, 10:45 AM

I want!

Stinger · 07-02-2009, 10:45 AM

I bought it from Tischer. I pre-ordered and waited about 3 weeks. It arrived this morning.

Rogue_Marine · 07-02-2009, 10:46 AM

SLCGoonski · 07-02-2009, 11:01 AM

I also see a different steering wheel...a perf. leather e-brake handle...

veightkiller · 07-02-2009, 11:24 AM

Mk23 · 07-02-2009, 12:24 PM

What type of leather is on your shift boot OP? Looks different from mine. Looks like it actually matches the new shift knob.

Stinger · 07-02-2009, 12:26 PM

Thanks everyone. Yeah I went out of lunch and it looks and feels very nice. Definitely a nice, easy mod.

Yes the shift boot is a separate item you can buy that matches the new knob. Total price for both items from Tischer right now is $185 (includes shipping)

That's correct. I have the //M Sport steering wheel and the //M e-brake handle. More details about the steering wheel here: http://e93fanatic.blogspot.com/2009/...-steering.html
