MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN! I recently purchased a Genuine BMW M5 Shift knob from RoverActive and paid $268 for it. The problem is I dont know how to retrofit it using wires. The wires are not easy to plug into the shift knob and you would have to buy the wires yourself but I HIGHLY recommend this mod because its a clean and well worth job to do on your free time especially over the summer. I am selling this for $140 OR BEST OFFER!! and you get the shift knob itself. The wires you have to buy yourself and you have to use your existing boot anyway. GREAT UNBEATABLE PRICE. Please let me know. Thanks!
I purchased the item from this company.

Good luck with the sale. I'm going to do this mod when I get back and will be making it into a plug and play solution (as always). I will post a DIY when done.
