Anyone tried or seen this?

There are severel on ebay at about 100$

Ebay 1

Ebay 2

It´s an X6 look-alike steptronic shift knob for the E60 pre-lci
The gear realease knob is still at the back as normal.
No lights or anything, but might seem like an easy LCI shifter look mod

The front part should be made off aluminium.

Yes, but I can live without the lights, my main concern is the build quality.

The park-button, can be delivered with an M-logo instead so you don´t have a fake button.

i posted this and purchased the one with the M logo on it. should be here any day. i will post pics when i install it. It does not light up though, but i just want the newer look. the one that has the P on top for park is kind of pointless though since its not a real button, thats why i went with the M, but they also sell one with nothing on top, its just not pictured.
