Hi,
I finished up making my own Leather iDrive controller knob, couldn't see the value in paying A$130 ex. Germany for a genuine one.
All I did was:
It's not high-tech, cost me A$0.25 in leather and it has a nice soft feel due to the leather and rubber double-sided tape.

I finished up making my own Leather iDrive controller knob, couldn't see the value in paying A$130 ex. Germany for a genuine one.
All I did was:
- Create a circle on the PC (280 pixels round)
- Stuck some black double-side automotive rubber tape to the underside of the leather to stiffen it
- Stapled the paper with the circle to the leather section
- Cut out the leather circle and removed the staples
- Removed the paper on the other side of the double-sided tape
- Stuck it to the i_drive controller knob
It's not high-tech, cost me A$0.25 in leather and it has a nice soft feel due to the leather and rubber double-sided tape.

Original part is definitly worth 33 Euro.
I would also pay 33 Euro, but would you pay 79 Euro (A$130) for it, that's what BMW in Adelaide have quoted.

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

here you go :
65826983881
65826983881
Is that the part number for the latest E60 LCI leather iDrive controller knob with the soft rubber raised pads?
Is the LCI 6 speed steptronic gear selector available to purchase? If yes, do you have an approx. price and part number?
