You're correct that was an Infinity M45, I was at the car show and took that pic.....forgot. That's not the knob I'm referring to though, just a pic of a hot control console. Need another control knob......like a chrome stereo knob..........

SAME QUESTION. Was just talking to a parts guy and he said they were easy to take off Just buy something with the same shaft width and it's on and poppin'. Looking for a SLENDER dail of some sort. But the leather would be cool too, that's the one I saw on a 2006 I think. This is an AUDI piece!!!!!!!!!!!

My Ride: 2004 545i / Orient Blue (I think) / Tan int / 116's Wheels / ... my favorite option, the HEATED steering wheel!
Previous cars retired:
2006 Corvette Z51, 2002 Corvette Coupe, 2002 Mustang, 1997 Maxima, 1994 Camry, 1990 Supra
None, and I mean none compare to this 545i. The 06 Corvette was faster, but not by much...

Looks like it will have rubber or leather around the perimeter to provide extra grip.

That's it!
I don't know about it being heavier but maybe the M5 knob would be something you would like it's a brushed aluminum look ( i don't think they make anything in chrome ) I purchased one but then ended up selling it since i didn't like it. should cost around $65.00.
