    Try hot glue if you don't want it too permanent. It'll probably hold but not be able to come off if you really tugged.

    Aw man.. I was hoping I wouldn't have to glue it on my brand new z3 shifter :/
    I'm going ZHP, so I guess I could live with it being 4x4 status for a while. Nice idea though!

    This is the one I'm currently using and I love it. Excuse the ghettoness of the interior in the picture, that was the first drive when the car was first put back on the road last year after the conversion.

    When I had E30's with BMW motors still in them I preferred the leather knobs from E36's and so on, very tactile.

    I had a ZHP and I didn't really like it. It looked too out of place with the brushed aluminum and M shit. Also my shifter is really notchy and sometimes the ZHP would make it hard to go into gear since it was shorter. I put the stock anatomic leather knob back on, and i love the way it looks and feels. I REALLY want an illuminated one piece knob like what was posted earlier, I just can't bring myself to piss away money like that.
    I find this odd. I have had the ZHP and the Febi. I found myself ending up with a wood door knob shifter and I'm finally satisfied with it. The weighted knobs relieved the notchy-ness and I found I prefer it.

    ZHP for sure, feels incredible. Car came with one of the M-striped door knob shifters, and I hated it. I would love to have been able to afford one of the illuminated ZHP knobs, but just can't justify it right now.

    I have a Momo of some sort, leather wrapped. It would be fine except that the stitching tends to chew up the inside of my ring finger. The shape is fine, the stitching is not unless I wear gloves.

    it'll do for now and much better than the po's walmart knob. the fact the gearbox labels are off will eventually get to me tho... hah


    I would always be scared that someone else would drive my car and grind the gears with that one.
