hey guys found this new shift knob on the accessories page from bmw and wasn't sure what I thought of it, I'm in the search for a new knob but not sure what to get yet. I'm also considering the bmw performance alcantara knob.

First one might collect your hand and finger prints. It will also standout if there were no other shiny chrome in your interior.

The second one will fit and blend nicely IMO. It is also not common making it desirable.
