New gear knob help

[optimistique1]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a reasonably priced replacement gear knob please?

BMW say £130+.

So many come up on eBay and when you look at the item details says not compatible with E89

Pursuits may snigger but I have had a couple of these on e90s and they fit the e89 too as it's the same knob.

Nicely weighted and certainly a snip at under 9 quid

How did you get yours to fit, the new one doesn't have the little pins.

I just used the retaining clip from the oem knob pushed up against the leather and oncd its clipped in place it doesn't move
