E70 Style Shift Knob on E53....
 

Just installed this latest mod on my E53. If anyone is intersted let me know as I have some comng into stock in a couple of weeks. If you are interested email me [email protected]

They are available in LHD and RHD version

Can you take a picture from far? to see how it matches the interior.

No Indicator Lights on the shifter?

That will be a mrbmwx5 mod. ;) :)

Bimmian has the LHD version

Honestly i dont really like it it seems very out of place.

No offense, were still friends.

None taken. :) I am just posting because OP posted about ordering from Australia. Not my cup of tea.

I've never been fond of the current auto shifters in BWM (similar style in the OP's picture). I always like the older "manual" style shifter like those in the E53. Not my cup of tea either.

Guys,

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.
