    Polished or steel?

    The shift knob I ordered is out of stock for 6-8 weeks so I still have to find something, SOON. I don't have a shift knob in my car and with a Z4 3.0 SSK, my hand is throbbing by the time I am done driving my car.

    Out of these 2, which would you get? Keep in mind my interior is dark. I didn't really like the aluminum finish shift knob I used to have, it was dullish and looked cheap. To be honest I like the polished version of this knob better:





    Here is an old pic of my interior for reference:

    I say unpolished/brushed. I don't like the fake logos either.

    I'm getting the steel ebrake handle in the top pic (no logo or anything) and I just got the "titanium" shift knob sold by jimmy540i. I think they will look good together, and this shift knob is MUCH nicer looking in person than the pics in his auctions.

      I like that shift knob, I just think its too tall. I like the polished version of that one better as well. Its reasonably priced.

        Yo what's the deal with bmwmb's products? anybody bought them before? i've been thinking of buying the pedal set and i just hope it's not that cheap set that won't stay on the pedals. It's reasonably priced, does the quality match it?

          You drill holes in your pedals and use screws to mount them, they won't fall off...

            So the backs of the pedals have studs on them?

              See the holes in the pedals? You put a bolt through them into the pedals.

                Aluminum.

                Polished will just collect finger prints and look dirty.

                    The shift knob in my IS300 is polished chrome. Gets fingerprints on it and scratches.
