Some minor injury is also a frequent undocumented feature of the install

In some cases I believe it has resulted in injury to the car!

A guy I used to work with attemped to change the gear knob in his E36 during his lunch break. As he pulled the old gear knob off, he accidentally smacked himself in the face causing a minor nose bleed. Needless to say, he was ridiculed in the office.

Isn't there a way of getting a light up one of thses, or did I dream that up?

No, there is an illuminated version - I think it was standard on the E39 M5 possibly. But then you obviously have to wire the illumination up!

This is true, there is an illuminated version for the Ms. No wiring up though. Just unclip the old and clip on the new.

I wouldn’t think a nonM owner would want this? I went for the non illuminated version for my M anyway as how many times do you look down there

Does look good when you do though
The knob is actually from an F10 M5 not E39 if anyone is thinking of ordering one.

Fitted mine today. Injury free I might add
