Hi All
Just to let you know that Kigerka's car now has the M5 gear knob retrofitted to his SMG car.
We did the modification on Sunday at the Dutch Maastrict meet (specifically, Andy545's house).
I'm sure you'll want to see pictures of the mod and a full write-up, and Kigerka will post it very soon
It goes without saying that the connectors and wiring used are all BMW original parts...
All the Best

Hobi, just wondering whether this m5 gear knob can be done in a Steptronic gear box?

Hi
Afraid not because of the shiftlock function on the steptronic box. The M5 gear knob does not have the shiftlock release button on it. Also, the metal shaft is different....
