as others have mentioned this is a very easy do-it-yourself install...the only other additional item I needed was a single zip-tie...in that I found it too difficult to re-use the factory zip-tie on the e-brake leather boot.

Don't hesitate to do this install on your own

Sounds great, I want the wooden e-brake too after seeing some other pictures.. But in your case still counts:

Nice shot of the NAV. It is pretty cool to see all of Europe and then zoom into where you are.

I only wish they made a titanium e-brake. ( Are you reading BMW?)

I have the invoice somewhere hidden in my office.
But according to the accessories brochure the shift lever was 116,- Euro.
Have to check my books...
