Hi guys

I'm a proud owner of an E60 2006 535d, the Auto gear stick is the old style one, its not in the best condition either.
So im lookink at replacing it altogether, I know I cant go for the new style gear stick because its a completelty different gear box.
But I was wondering whether there are more attractive styles available out there that look similar to the new OEM ones?
like this?

Your thoughts please

PM member schlurog. I believe that's his site. I'm curious about cutting the stalk as well. The wiring harness comes with it.

Hey guys, this forum link by Schulrog may provide more info. I've already posted the question regarding group pricing. Feel free to add your comments and interest.
