Holy crap, that makes me think I will just deal with it, until I need to replace the clutch or have some other reason to get that involved with the tranny. I'm not having any trouble getting into gear. I think I will replace that white bushing though; I'm sure it's never been done and it might help. I'll try and look at the linkage when I have the ability to do so (no garage right now
)

Is that like this one?
Amazon.com: BMW (25 11 7 896 031) Gear Shift Knob, Leather: Automotive
That's the cheapest I've seen it, most places have it for the full list price of $82. I like the idea of a weighted knob, but when there's not a single "M" part on my car I don't think I want an "M" badge on the shifter only
Really what I want is a factory wood grain one to match the walnut trim on my car,
like this one, but 1) that is way too expensive for a shift knob and 2) I might be redoing the wood trim anyway.
I do have to wonder what the compatibility between models is like? I'd think that all 3- and 5-series from the early 90s on up use the same shift knobs, but I don't know
