my vote is no on the carbon fiber, but the one of the picture above is nice. What is the price on that one above.

Metal can get very cold. I use to have a metal knob and when it was below freezing the knob was very cold.

[jht3]

it can also get crazy hot

my vote is neither

standard bmw leather ergo knob FTW

The carbon one is sick (in a bad way). My vote is for the e36/46 plain black leather.

knobs

I run a metal one from BMW....temp is never a big deal at all.


The TMS cf is nice......moreso w/o the insignia!

they both are very different though!.......what is your car like.....rough and ready, or cool and classy?.....

I just say it depends on your interior. Metal if it's more stock. CF if you've got other CF accents.

BTW, there's a CF one FS on BF.

my car is beat on, i just needed a knob. nothing in the entire is modified. the carbon fiber just looks cool, but it seems like it sits low. im ordering a new shift boot too.

I vote for the alum one, though I'm actually partial to leather. Still, the CF one just doesn't look like it belongs on this car.

I vote for the aluminum e36 knob, but it would look funky without an aluminum ebrake handle.

no mods!

your car is beat on....no mods.....


get an oe style in leather from BAS......they even r on sale. Save your cash and do mods!!!!!

Why not get a normal one or a cheaper one and use the leftover money to make your car less beat??

[ptownTSI]

i can get a shitty stock rubber E30 one for $25 shipped, or i can get the e36 metal one for $40 shipped or the TMS carbon fiber for $65... i'd rather spend some extra money and get a really nice shift knob. i have been ordering parts to fix this up. getting a hood, got all new locks, still tring to find a new drivers door/passengers mirror.

[ptownTSI]

i think i decided on the E36 knob, its classier.
