Oh cool, I like the sound. are there any pics around ?3djam wrote:Mik - The ZHP gear knob is an OEM gear lever that is shorter and slightly heavier than the original. It is leather and also more chunky than the original. I found out about it from this forum and I reckon it looks realy good.

Re: Poll - Z4 Gear Knob
Thanks for that picture gannet. Do they do them for the six speed and do they all come with the M logo.
have you any idea how much shorter they are than the standard fit knob ?

Re: Poll - Z4 Gear Knob
They do a non M logo'd version but you have to order that one from the states through leatherz I believe and it is more expensive.
I took the view that it is a small logo, and I have m-sport seats and suspension so doesnt look too out of place

Re: Poll - Z4 Gear Knob
I did something similar. Used a black snooker ball and mounted it as low as possible, about 1.1 inch lower then the oe knob. It's perfect for the feel and shorter shift lever movement. Maybe I should have used a 6 ball?Z4monster wrote:I have a Whalen pool ball which I love. I went for purple 4 and people always woner if the car only has 4 gears...lol Love it as it shortened the stick slightly and improved the weighting. easier shifting now.

Re: Poll - Z4 Gear Knob
I see that many of you like the Storm shift knob. Does it really smooth out the shifts as advertised?
