Shift Knob / Boot / Steering Wheel Options

QUiKSR20 · 10-18-2015, 06:48 AM

Hey guys been searching around, Back with my E90 there were numerous OEM options.. Eventually I went with the M Sport -

I got a nice Shift Knob w/Boot and Ebrake as well as a M Sport Steering Wheel Surround.

Im moving to an F30 next week and dont see many options besides the M performance which to me is so so but nothing special ( my opinion of course ).

Is there any other options that come with a nice attached OEM boot?

Im just looking for a nice OEM plus BOOT/KNOB combo thats nicer than the OEM setup and maybe a steering wheel trim piece etc.. I wish I could afford an M-Sport Wheel w/Airbag. My new car is a Sport but not M SPORT.

Thanks!

The m perf shifter doesn't look special in pictures, but it's fantastic in day to day living. Somehow, the throws seem shorter (probably placebo effect but who cares) more positive, and the feel is great. I had dismissed it as well, but after seeing it and trying it in person, I had to have it. It also, of course, matches perf ebrake, and it's easy to get a matching steering wheel, either m perf or aftermarket.

FWIW, I really disliked the zhp knob that came with my m sport.

Cool thanks for the honest input, sounds like I may have to give it a chance..

Anyone know if the above wheel trim will work on an F30? Mines is an F30 Sport.
