    I enjoyed my lighted knob. It broke and I honestly missed it. It compliments the window switches.
    A weighted know supposedly helps with shifts. Like the big metal knobs some places sell.

      Zhp, Illuminated knob is to much and not worth it IMO

        My favorite knob of all time was my one piece lighted knob. Felt so good in my hand. I have a zhp now and it's good but not as good for me.

          I think if you have big hands, the zhp can be a tad small. The illuminated knob featured in the OP feels slightly larger and taller.

            I have a zhp in my car and a customer just shipped me an e46 M3 one piece boot, the illuminated knob is about the same diameter but about a half inch taller I think. I can post a side by side pic if there's interest

              I really like the M weighted shift knob, which is basically like a stock E36 M3 knob with the weight of a ZHP knob.

              I HATE the feel of the short knobs.

              The only downside is that I don't think there is a 5spd version. Luckily not an issue for me.
