    Shift and e-brake boots

    Is anyone on the forum making this to order?

    Ever since Matt-B Got banned (why was that anyway?) I don't know who to contact without getting eBay crap.

    I also need a shift knob and the boot trim the boot attaches to if anyone has one lying around, haha (New 5 speed swap)

      I actually got my shift boot and e brake boot from the vendor TopGaiters on ebay. Second time I have used them and I love their products. Very inexpensive and the quality of the workmanship and the leather is awesome. Genuine Italian leather

      Edit: Just saw your link. I would say do it. They are top notch. I got the retro looking M stripe set.

        BTW if you go on UK ebay you can get it slightly cheaper. It will convert the currency for you and the shipping is worldwide anyway since they just send it in a padded envelope

          Thanks! I just wanted to double check. Is the one I posted the same design as yours?

                  Thanks. I ordered the original set I posted. Now does anyone know where I can get this part from?

                  part 13
                  http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...05&hg=25&fg=05

                  I literally have NOTHING besides the shift lever. No knob, no boot, nothing to attach the boot to.

                    I may have one I will check. Tischer BMW can probably get you a brand new one

                      Everyone says part 13 is the entire shift boot assembly. I just need the snap ring if anyone has one.

                        this one comes with the frame/snap ring/ whatever cheap plastic, but the boot is of poor automotive vinyl, use it till it rips and the get a custom one, and MATT-B is still on m42club, I think he's an admin over there

                          Thanks, but I don't mind waiting to find just the ring. I'll be hitting up the junk yard on my next day off (8 days) if I don't find a seller.

                          Also, is there anything besides cloth up near the top of the boot? The part right under the shift know?


                          /end dumb questions.

                            Pretty sure I have one (just the ring) but I would have to look. PM me if your still looking for one.

                            Also, do me a huge favor, when you get your set in, post up a pic of the fitment on them, mainly the e-brake boot. I have one of the leather handle from an E32/34, and it's a bit shorter, so there is a gap between the handle and the stock boot. I just want to know if there is enough material on these boots to cover that gap or not.

                              I have these boots and the E34 leather brake handle. Fits perfect. No gap
