Thanks, that's what I was afraid of.

Best option is probably BMW regulators through FCPEuro. Another thing I saw is that some people have had success with the cheap regulators on ebay.

Tried installing the new shift knob but there is a gap at the bottom, but i have pushed down as far as it goes. It know it has the rail that i need to align but it seems to be facing the correct way when looking at it from the top.

If i put a towel on top of it and use a mallet, it won't be forceful enough to hurt anything, correct?

Interestingly enough, when i removed the old one the PO had put black electrical tape around the shifter bar, which is odd since when trying to put in the new one it would not really fit with the tape on so had to remove it.

Anybody in the NY Tri State want a ZHP coupe back bumper? Met a local guy doing a rocket bunny M3 clone and he’s willing to sell this for cheap

250$ dollars is what he’s asking

Your car isn’t a white sedan is it? I’ve encountered the electrical tape shift knob once before...

I’d be hesitant to hit it with anything forceful. Can you feel it/hear it go into its guides, and it’s just not going down far enough?

Did the boot just loosen up and came down a bit? Maybe the zip tie holding the boot up needs replacing.
