uhhh, that is the new shifter for the 08 models. I don't think it would feel very good as a manual transmission shift knob - its pretty big.

I don't think that would look right as a stick-shifter since its got all the automatic markings and buttons for the automatic transmisions. But if you like it, the parts for the LCI 5 series should be coming out soon. Check with Gary or at your dealer.

i want it! i want it! i want it! i want it! i want it!
first of all, its automatic.
second, its electronic automatic - it doesn't move through a gate like the pre-LCI e60 step (or any other auto). you flick it up or down to select between R, N and D (like manual mode in steptronic). you press a button for P.
third, its fugly. looks like a robotic dildo. why would you want it???
