My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
Noticed the other day that true 06 Spec E60's have a slightly different i-Drive control knob. Mine along with most are totally metal (plastic) but the new spec has what looks like a black leather insert on the top. Visually it;s the only difference i can see between on 05 & 06 car, but i do quite like the contrasting black/silver knob, as my car is Silver Grey with the Dalota Black interior so i think it would look better.
So how much are they?? can they just be swapped?? is it a very simple DIY job or does it need doing by a dealer??
Cheers,
Ps. Even got my Nokia 6230i covers in the same colour as my car.

...and I thought I was sad!
That's probably the worst case of sadness to date, although the wallpapers on my laptops are of either my current or previous car
