Sorry for my first post to be a question...
I bought an 87 325i convertible as a parts car. Im an Aussie and this was a Japanese import LHD that someone imported and had left for 3 years before deciding to move it on as they couldn't license it. I bought it for the sports leather seats, Racing dynamics wheels and the Alpina steering wheel it had.
It also came with this shifter on the auto. Basically you slide the bottom section up to shift the auto. It doesn't look home made. The wood on both sections match so does the stain. The metal pieces all fit precisely and appear to be professionally machined. The steel has also been blued (I think that is the finish). So it doesn't look like someone has converted an Alpina manual knob.
The timber has split, and PO used superglue to try and fix it. I will fill it with a sandable epoxy that I use to fill gum lines on woodworking projects.
I have not been able to find any reference to it in my google searching, so I was wondering if anyone has seen it before.
Cheers
Clint
