I got the first one, the zhp model, I love it, definetly has a more weighted better feel.
MT knobs are pretty much interchangable between all BMW's.

If you are changing then why dont you go for the lit version that lights up the shift pattern.

For those that have the ZHP, is it the same as #3 (short knob) on here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=25&fg=10 ?
I like the lit-option, but where do you connect the wire to light it up?

Thanks John, I'm leaning on that version (short knob, #3).

Would it bother you to have a 5-spd pattern on the shifter in a 6-spd car? That would annoy me, personally.
+1 for the 1-series shifter. Looks great.
Whatever you do, be careful when you pull off the old one... When it lets loose, it is very easy to punch yourself in the face.
