I replaced the worn out shift knob in my e36 with the factory leather/aluminum knob. I really like the feel of it and weight. It is noticeably heavier than the standard leather ergo knob (though by no means like a pure billet knob), and is also a good deal shorter. A few people have talked about this knob before but few have taken pictures of it. I know this is on an e36, but I am planning on putting on one my e30 here soon to replace the rare illuminated one I have on the car currently. That said, i think this is applicable to the e30 community.
Pic of how much taller it is in direct comparison - the difference is slightly amplified/distorted by the fact that AL knob is sitting physically lower than the ergo.

The finished product
Hopefully this will answer the question of what the knob looks like if people who have heard of it or are wondering. I had no idea this part even existed until about 2 months ago, maybe it is old news.
Cheers
