i just bought this

I am also planing on getting a set of Matching pedals throw ebay(the fake ones).

Was there a matching ebrake for this knob? What Ebrake handle would you suggest to get to match good?

I'd say get the e36 black leather one. I have it and I love it. Take a look at Jordan's interior. He has that knob and the e36 black leather ebrake handle.

yea i know hes got the knob, If i run into a e36 ebrake handle ill probably pick it up. But id rather have something that would go good with the aluminum look of the pedals and the knob. any ideas

Wow, that knob's uglying than stock Eta knobs- send that to me mine, and I can dispose of it properly.... 8)

:jk:

By the way - that knob is frickin SWEET! let me know how much more dense it is. When I get the ball rolling on my car, I want to have a really heavy shift knob, something with tons of mass, so it'll shift better.

For matching, I think aluminum stands out a lot in our E30 interiors (that's why I'd be all over a black anodized aluminum shift knob - but, there isn't one of course).

I think teh E36 handles look awesome too. Are there any ebrake handles that have some black and some silver? I think the ones made of all aluminum (or are all silver) stand out too much. But, they would match the shift knob alright, I think.

either have the stock ebrake handle, or a e36 leather one.

the ebay craptacular aluminum replica shit ones are HORRID.

I don't know if it is really "matching", but there are a few stores on ebay that sell the aluminum e-brake handles. Check w/ the place you are getting your pedals from.

yeah, get the fake ebay ebrake to match your 'fake ebay' themed interior

Don't diss people because they buy a couple things on ebay.

That knob is nice.

[Jordan]

That knob is nice.

Yes, that knob is nice. I have the same one in my e30. Its a OEM part, and the fit/finish is awsome. So is the wieght.

ebay aluminum ebrake handles are gay tho. they look horrid.

Screw you dude. Read the Website and you will see that it is real BMW!! The pedals im getting to match the Knob, and i heard that they are accually pretty damn good quailty. I also dont want to spen 200 on something that my feet are going to be resting on and not many people will see. Thats just rediculous.

And to agree with jordan, The Mtech Ebrake handle looks like total ASS. Very ugly.

[LikeCDoos]

i really really like the knob. i've driven a e36 m3 with that knob and it has a great feel. I'm pretty sure it's a BMW part and not a fake. I plan on getting one of those knobs after i get a SSK.

Like these any better?



Got them made to order at ultimatepedals. They were only $153, including dead pedal and custom heel/toe extension on gas

Btw, what does a E36 ebrake handle go for on Ebay?

why spend any money at all then?

My plan is to have my pedals custom made. My brother-in-law's high school has 2 3-axis CNC's. All I have to pay for is aluminum, and he will make them for me.

Well, I dont really care too much about what other people think. I like them, and i think thats what matters. I wouldnt spend 200 on something that my feet would be resting on, but id have no problem resting my feet on $40 if i like it.
