Can't comment on the F10 one, but the ZHP is, although finding an illuminated one isn't easy.

Question..
As a few posts have said weight different etc I have a comparison size and weight pic from makers of the zhp shifter
Pic of shifter is original m5 shifter note 4 split of leather
So what is the actual diffence? Is it the illumination?
As I don't know if oem has illumination
Anyone?:)

That's interesting. The weight difference is only 0.3 oz. think I am going to order my F10 tomorrow.

I do research first haha

Thing is ones oem and one zhp
But I don't know if oem is illuminated
As oem one now has 4 way split in gator of which will for nicer in original z4 frame as its 2 way split but reversed on f10 leaving gaps when shift forward

F10 is illuminated. "Genuine" ones on eBay for £128 but will phone stealers tomorrow and ask questions, order.

Cool
Reading the site
I think the zhp version is simply a oem with an led plate put under top shift plate
I may stand corrected though but let me know what Bmw say:) as yup £128 oem

Yes the ZHP is an oem knob. Modified to provide illumination. The shift plate is either modified or replaced though. There was a guy in the states making them. He required you to send you illuminated knob over as well so he could use the plate.

Nirnavana, You’re probably not here anymore but thanks for your Guide. Very useful.

If you’re still around, it’s much appreciated
