In your own opinion, what's the greatest shift knob?

[VinniE30]

zhp, i have had one in every e30 i've owned. i have also always had a zf trans and the zhp's weight is the perfect amount to balance the notchiness when combined with a shorter shifter.

I've always heard the opposite, that the zf trans is less notchy than the getrag.

bmw wooden knob..original rubber/leather knob by PO had horrible cigarette smell that I could not get rid of..
wooden one is easier to clean and I love how it has partial leather grip.

I LOVE my ACS one.

I would love to have a ZHP but cant bring myself to buy one with an ///M emblem. My
Car is in no way related to BMWs M division.

The stock one is pretty boss. Like 25 bucks shipped from
Bimmerbumco. Weighted , i love the feel.

Here's mine.
Illuminated one-piece

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.

Thought I'd bump this thread back up with my newly-modified knob, Andrew took it to work and milled a recess out of the top to fit a 5-speed ///M shift pattern emblem!

Had this one back when i owned a 240(sx). Titanium.


I'm looking forward to getting my custom-lathed delrin knob from Rob for the 30. Hope it has decent weight to it.

Where do you get these, I have been looking all over for an alcantara shift knob.

They were NLA last year when I was looking for it, so I ended up with the same one but in Napa leather, not alcantara

[bataangpinoy]

i love that stock knob
