So picked up an M5 shifter knob from my dealer recently and Fred's legendary shifter cable kit and installed it this evening. Took 15min to install.
Looks sweet, Calton was right to nag me all this time - gives my interior that final touch, I like it !

Very ugly: I don't like M5 shifter : the SMG1 shifter is WONDERFUL instead!

I have the m5 shitfer with the SMG shift plate and boot. Looks more of a perfect fit that way. Just my .02
