Kind of cool. Props for doing it, although I would prefer to see it light up in sport mode, since that is where it functions as the lights would indicate, and unfortunately the + and - are backwards...otherwise, great creativity!

i am working on the circuit right now to make it light up when in drive and sport mode

Great knob. I added the same one to my SMG E46 M3 and it was one of the best mods you can do!

Very Cool, how much did the it run you?

the knob $180 (wire harness is my custom made)

Looks good :)

These are for the M3/M5/M6 applications - but you get the idea ;)

great idea!

Try the HARTGE shift knob too. You can buy one that is also illuminated.

That CF knob kinda pricey :(
