Anyone know where to buy this shift knob insert?

[RCM3]

Looking for part #2, the BMW roundel insert that fits knobs like the one pictured. Hunted online and when I was at the dealer yesterday had him look it up but he claimed he couldn't find the part number. If someone could provide a link or any info that'd be awesome. Looking to swap out my insert for this roundel style if possible. Thanks for any suggestions.

i honestly think the 1.5 inch steering wheel badge might work if i shave the little wings on it.
ill report back with findings.

Hmmm I feel like the wheel badge might be too big, but Im in for creative solutions if it works, thanks

Thanks, that part number helped. Looks like theyre NLA but some places online have a few left in stock.

Good luck.
I've been trying on and off over the years to replace the "shift-pattern" insert with a roundel insert on the knob I have w/out any luck.

This one time, I went to try pulling a roundel insert from a used knob - and ended up messing the insert up. It "separated" internally if that makes sense.

Keep me posted if you find a workable solution. Although I fear the only real solution is to troll ebay religiously for a good/used piece. This method is how I finally came across a unicorn/shorty/doorknob vinyl knob I had sought for.

Vinyl knob? I'd like to see. I have a leather doorknob style one but its in pretty bad shape.

So that part number yielded a few sites that said they had a few. I paid for 2 from Turner, waiting to see if the order goes through and ships. Most all sites that list it have a disclaimer that that specific insert is discontinued. I'll let you know if they do in fact arrive. Turner didnt offer a picture, but assuming the part number above is correct, which I did cross reference with real OEM, they should arrive this week, fingers crossed.

Yeah, the leather ones kinda turn me off since they wear out.

Here's a picture of the short/vinyl knob I found. It was weird - like I remember reading about them, then finding they were NLA and pretty unpopular to boot - then out of nowhere, I saw and snagged one listed randomly on ebay.. seems like the tall/vinyls are still quite available.

Interesting. So is that knob solid vinyl or vinyl wrapped?

I'm not sure what I have (short/tall) but I have 2 plastic ones, a leather wrapped one, and a wooden one that need an insert to snap into place.

I have that shift knob that you posted for sale :)

don't know.. I assume it's a core of tough foam or something dipped in vinyl. don't know how they're manufactured(?) - but that that short knob is a shorter version of the tall one..

Ya but aren't they like $85 or something crazy. If they still make those knobs somewhere, then they must still make that insert. I saw that knob listed elsewhere also, eBay and other online vendors. I just want the damn insert for my aftermarket knob though!
