Check the status of production order, if it's not status 150, Production Started, you can have your dealer modify.

I would have paid NOT to have the glass controls*. I think they look dated and out of place. Kind of like my Gran had a few additions to the cabin layout that she picked out from the Thrift store.
* I didn't spec them in my G05 in case you didnt guess. |

You still need the iDrive controller which I could not find.
I think they complete the luxury feel inside, otherwise, you get a plastic ugly deal. I wasn't aware thrift stores sold real crystal car parts To each their own

I think they look pretty good and I'll bet they have a much nicer feel to them when you're using them. I love the way the ceramic ones feel (and look) and would have gotten them in my x5 if I could.

wanted to be sure we are on the same page. Now you need diamond inlays laced with the finest Platinum to adorn the steering wheel

I actually think they're less comfortable. They have sharp angles in the area where your hand rests. Much prefer the feel of the non-glass controls. I'd have preferred some leather but otherwise think it looks and feels great (even without the bling)

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! Last edited by X519; 02-26-2019 at 12:37 AM..

Still looks better IMHO. The non-glass "comfort" stick looks too plasticky. |
