    They only come in ACS or ///M, and the M is really ugly.

      If you get them, let us know about the quality. I am intrigued.

              i've put shift knobs on other cars of mine with the set screw. they always become loose. I like the idea of the rogue knobs that snap on like oem without a set screw? Any other aftermarket ones work like that? I haven't taken my knob off yet and after reading some posts I'm scared I'll break my nose trying.

                Yeah I really don't like set screw knobs either, thats another turn off. The latest UUC ones are snap-on like OEM.

                  I don't like the ebrake handle, I have an E36 M3 leather one myself, and I love it. The knob isn't bad, but I'd rather have the UUC one, since it snaps on, like TJ said. The knob I have right now is pissing me off. It's a leather B&M knob, and it was cool until the leather shrunk up around the knob, leaving about 3/4" of exposed aluminum at the bottom. And it NEVER stays put. It uses these plastic shims that you force onto the lever, and no matter how tight you push it on, it always loosens back up. Drivesme nuts. I'm not buying another shift knob unless it's the OEM style snap on type.

                      I like the Rogue ones too, same price as UUC.

                            I have the ACS knob thats 300.00 from bav auto. I love it but I splurged to get it. It has the setscrew and it has never come loose on me. I take it off quite often to clean my shiftboot and Ive never had a problem. I like the look of that shit T.J... buy it. Im sure it looks quite different in person. Ive always wanted a titanium knob and e-brake handle.

                              Yah, it's from my old E30. I never had an issue with it, either.
