Archived Illuminated ///M 5 Speed Gear Knob

Genuine BMW Leather 5 Speed Illuminated ///M Gear Knob, in good condition and fully working order. A nice upgrade from the standard knob and looks great at night.

Recently purchased a new one so I no longer need this, more pics available if needed.

Looking for £30 posted.

You can try liquid leather, give it a clean and then dab the dye on where the worn patches are.

Nothing but new will do ray

Its still black but no shine
i was thinking about applying the shine coat,
but as mark said
I feel a new knob coming on

Ray,

Don't bother with the m one.

Get a storm motorwerks one with matching handbrake handle.

Much better.

Ps don't forget the cig lighter plug too.

They only shine when they are worn, I brought a brand new one last week which is why I sold the other one and it is not shiny at all its a matt finish.

Here is the new one fitted

I think the nappa leather on the ///M seats would have also come out of the factory with a matt finish. A lot of leather is like this and it goes shiny over time. Using a good leather cleaner like gliptone brings back the matt finish, or it certainly has on mine in the past and got rid of the shine

That is true when my leatherman re covered my centre armrest
i said its matt and he said thats how it should be when new
I assuming the seats also


Mind you the front of the gear knob is shiny i dont touch that

Storm motorwerks

I want a storm one, but it would become expensive as I would have to get a handbrake handle and cigarette lighter blank to match.

Just checked the gear knob and its the reverse
the bit thats worn is dull and the rest of it is shiny :-\
I will try and take a picture
