What do you guys think... Pix

Found this shifter, looks cool but I don't know how would look in the truck.
Would you buy?

I'm not sure I like the faux E70 look shifter in an E53. I think it would stick out like a sore thumb, literally and figuratively, especially if you have wood trim since this is silver. How much does it cost?

U're right, against the wood it will look bad, but I have turned all wood accents into carbon fiber....
It's around $80 on ebay

Looks cool by itself but would look out of place me thinks... Would you put an M badge on the back of your E53?

If I didn't see a pic I would still be sceptical. Now I'm sold! Thanx for the pic mate!! I have the exact same setup including carbon fiber console and it looks nice. I think it's worth $80

Give us some feedback on how durable it is. Hopefully its better than the one that fell apart in the other thread.
