So my Gear Knob came away in my hands last night after some spirited driving and the plastic clip has broken off. Anyone got one of these or know where i can get a like for like from (trying to avoid dealer prices)?

Or any good alternatives, the power cable for the gear knob has also broken :(
 
Crikey, that's some effort! Not quite sure what you mean by the plastic clip, however, if you looking for a change to the better I would recommend the OEM F10 M5 gearknob which many change to. Shortens the throw, sits lower, illuminates better and looks a whole lot nicer IMO, albeit costing £100 or so from BMW. Very simple to swap. I think a standard replacement is about £70??

Further to above; is this going to fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuine-M-Sport-6-Speed-Leather-Gear-Stick-Knob-Black-25117896886-/271556295147?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f3a0439eb

Can genuine ones be had for cheaper anywhere else?

My link is the same knob but cheaper..... they fit e85 & 86 Manuals but BMW state doesn't fit!..... it's a lie, trust me I have one! :thumbsup:

I don't believe bmminiparts or sopers will beat that price, they couldn't get near it when I got mine..

Search for just the part number on eBay and your get some listings: ZHP Links eBay

It surprised me! I think the clip had been broken for some time and only took a quick shift from 2nd to 3rd before it just came off entirely. It still sits in position but i think its best safety wise to get a new one :)
