Could someone point me to a reference that shows how the shfiters on our cars are built, and what I'd need to replace to fix this? It hasn't caused any mis-shifts, but it is annoying!
One other thing, anyone know a good place to find replacement shift knobs? Preferably OEM BMW, but, as I'm looking at those, even the very basic black ones are $80! That seems over the top...

there is a white plastic cup bushing that goes bad I think. It sits under the ball for the shifter. I'm assuming we use the same assembly as the e46, I really liked my weighted ZHP knob on my e46. I think I paid 50 bucks for it.
