I feel the shifter in the 5 series was classy and not boring. Silver and black with nice contrast lettering for the gears and good button placement at the top for Park.

With the G05, at first I felt the glass/crystal shifter was too blingy and over the top, but I was dismayed by the regular shifter which IMO was positioned at the other extreme and was too bland and looked out of place in the interior.

Not 100% happy with either, so had to pick the lesser evil of the two and I went with the crystal option. Looks cool in daylight, but looks a bit much @ night with the colored lights. The multiple X reflections give it an R-rated movie feel, lol.

Sigh! wish we had an intermediate choice.

PS: Pimp-stick, LOL sticky name!
