I have contacted a company I have used before to create a custom shift boot. Since the X5 is not supported in their catalog, I am pioneering their first boot and will subsequently get their product at my cost of shipping and time to create a DIY install.

I had a couple of questions though. Is it the same shift boot for a 2001-2006 X5? Does our boot work in any other model? (it does not, that I am aware of.)

Who would be interested in a group buy at a special price? I know we have about 60 MT enthusiasts here. Pics below of my previous purchases. I bought and installed a shift boot, ebrake, and arm rest at the same time as my UUC Evo3 SSK+DSSR+ERK and RK5 knob set.
