My car is finally at the dealers. I just dropped off the wheels/tires, got my 'BMW' cellphone activated, and am hoping to get the UUC short shift kit overnight so the dealer can install it tomorrow. They've already installed the wood shifter and ebrake and they look great. I'll post pic's soon.

Congrats! Post pics soon. Curious to see the shifter and e-brake.

I saw in the ACS package of an aluminum i-drive knob and e-brake. I may swap those out if not expensive.

I looked at the I drive knob on their website and personally I think it looks awkward. They want it too look like a rim or something??? I would rather have the I drive knob in the woodtrim! But hey, I'm a woody hehehe

Emergency Brake. The handle next to the I drive is the way to engage it. Mostly cald parking brake or something.

Emergency brake?!

Never heard it called that before. Is that for if you want to create an emergency? Pull it up while doing 160?

I've always known it as the hand brake. Thanks for the answer anyway.

Well, half of the US cannot drive. So when you have to slam on brakes, it helps to pull the parking brake, hence e-brake. As well, teh cheap people use the e-brake as a regular brake becuae they are to cheap to put new brakes on the car. Since the US is practically the land of automatics it is rarely used as a parking brake.
