ZHP E85 3.0 6 speed gearknob product number confirmation

[Bob123]

Hi,

I'd be grateful if someone could confirm the ZHP E85 3.0 6 speed gearknob product number for me? I've just phoned my local BMW dealer's parts department and they told me that the product code that I have for it (25117896886) is wrong and that product is for 3 series, X5 etc. not Z4. They instead quoted the last four digits (wouldn't tell me the full numbers) of two different product numbers that alledgedly apply to the gearknob for the ZHP E85 3.0 6 speed gearknob and a price of £86.51, which seemed a bit high.

Thanks for any suggestions/info.

The one I bought for my 6 speed was p/n 25117896886. It fit perfect. It cost me $80 US.

Try speaking to Sopers of Lincoln.
They do forum discount and post stuff out very quickly.

Same part number as above

[ref]dhobbs[/ref], brilliant. Looks very much like my local BMW parts department person is clueless. Not great for my first dealings with him.

And, I'd suggest, your last!
If the bloke can't sort his knob out what would you trust him with!

That's the same part number mine had on the box too.

I bought it from Cotswold BMW who also gave a forum discount.
