marc l Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 The gear knob on my e46 is starting to show wear and i'd like to replace it. I've looked on the bay and I've found a nice genuine one from BMW Direct for £63 delivered. Has anyone replaced theirs? And where did they buy it from? I've seen cheap plastic ones but I'm not after that. The genuine one I've seen on eBay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmEagle Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Have you got a club sport one already. I replaced the leather off an eBay seller for about £5 and put on a new badge for about £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfoley Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I replaced my longer knob with the short weighted one, bought it from BMW direct also. This is the actual one I purchased in the end http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005MW1XA2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edges Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 The one you've posted s pic of is the clubsport one £52 plus vat is what I paid at trade price. Makes a nice difference to gear changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevvy Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Aren't all clubsport knobs 6speed? Looks the same as mine and I've got a 5speed 318 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you could replace the leatheryou can get a replacement leather cover for your one off eBay. Won't be as nice as a clubsport one though. I replaced my wood one with a battered clubsport one and replaced the leather and badge. Love it.

B0B Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I put a new 6 speed emblem and recovered my knob when I bought the convertible earlier this year. Edited October 1, 2015 by B0B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
