you must have missed the other thread.


Personally, I think you need CF trim everywhere to pull it off. Matches black cube ok...

[danewilson77]

I must have. I thought the other thread was for the E81 ///M sport knob.

Shit...I dunno......

[NorCalZman]

I tend not to go for shift knobs that are pole shaped, but I like the styling on it at least. Too bad it wasnt shapped more like the ZHP knob or 1 series sport.

[JupiterBMW]

I like it more so than the old Performance knob... And I agree, would blend a bit with black cube... Real carbon fiber trim would be so :drool

[Avetiso]

Can anyone comment on the size of performance knobs? I'm 6'6", so I have big hands, and I find the ZHP knob small for me.

Damn. I only remembered it referring to the silver one.

And mines a polling thread :)

I still don't like the look of the performance knobs in the E46 interior.

ZHP knob will always be the best looking knob in that interior, imo.

This. I found the shape of the Performance knob awkward to shift with due to the way it doesn't conform to your hand and/or fingers.

The ZHP knob is the most comfortable shift knob I've ever driven with in any car I've driven.

on TT today.

I wonder why they don't update the app so we can see polls...

If this shift knob came lit then I would most likely use this in my ///M since I have a full interior carbon fiber trim....

it can be done if you're careful when taking off the emblem (or just order a new one because the original one will probably be messed up when you take it off)

Kinda like it, but could use other c/f or black cube (as others have said) to help it out IMHO.

It's smaller than the ZHP knob

[echo46]

As stated above, I'm not feeling the pole shape. I also agree with Kay, the ZHP knob just flat out works.

What I meant to say was I don't like the way it looks in my car or any other E46-- but it looks great in YOU'RE car. :biggrin :shift

Hehe..........I can pull it off with silver cube trim and alcantara interior.

I'm going to that E81 knob for sure though.

[kayger12]

Yeah, man.

Make it yours, brother.

In for pics when it's in there.

[328ioc]

I like it....however I would still take the 135 knob over this one mainly due to the increased weight.

Well.....I meant the one I have now.....hehe

Not the CF one.

[JKO_ZHP]

To be honest, that auto one looks way more badass than the manual one :rofl:headbang

Lol. Roger. Gotcha now.

Don't mind me, that was before my point of adequate coffee consumption.

For those who have wrapped their interior trim with 3m DI-noc or 1080 series film, you may find this helpful. From what I can see, that new performance knob has a matte cf finish to it. It doesn't look glossy. It would match nicely with cf wrapped trim.
