First interior mod, new gear knob.

Thought i'd post some pics up of my first interior mod. Went for the M5 F10 option so it still lights up. Was a bit of a faff to rework the leather gaiter to fit the the old halo, but really pleased with the end results. The new one weighs about 80g more and definitely shifts a lot nicer now.

Nice job, looks great! I think that's the first one I've seen where the M5 boot was retained, and it looks great.

When I bought my second Z4MC last fall it already had either this knob or a ZHP knob modded to light up - not sure which. Also has a LeatherZ boot w/M stitching. Thank you previous owner, nice upgrades.

Just took my time with it really. I used a staple gun to get it nicely centred on the frame and then finished it with contact adhesive. The trickiest bit is the top sides where seams are, i used a small rubber mallet to slightly flatten the stitching which made it more pliable to get a good tight fit.
