be warned. I have ordered one, costed me nearly double the price until I had it here in Austria - of course my problem. The reason why I am posting this is the fact that it broke today. I have always used it very soft because the feel is like it would not be robust. Tried to repair it and what I found was somehow shocking.

You can disassemble the whole thing with the nail of your thumb - it is simply put together without anything like a Chinese $0.5 play car for kids. The cost for manufacturing this thing is like $3 - 5.

My advise would be: do not buy one. That product will break in each car after some weeks.

GL, Helmuth

Just to clear it up. You did not purchase your shift knob from me. Mine are much better quality and are NOT made in China. I have had one on my car for a while now without a problem.

Thanks

even if you have a silver trim on the interior it still looks a little weird to me. it is supposed to be joystick and on the e53 it is not. iDrive would be a different story, but still.

You are right - it was not ordered from you.
