On 2nd though -- You indicate in the DIY thread that you DID connect all the wires and damaged the shifter when you installed it. So much so that it won't stay on any longer like it should. Not feeling right about this. In this ad you indicate you don't know how to install it, but in the DIY you said you already did and only complaint was what you did to it after.
What gives??

My Ride: 2007 550i, Mystic Blue over Auburn, 6-Manual, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Logic 7, Nav, Sirius, MTec Front & Sides with M5 rear apron, VIS Penta carbon fiber vented hood, OEM M166s, (or Style 101M with winter 19 Blizzaks), BMW Blue Calipers, Custom Quad Exhaust and M5 side grills, trunk finisher and spoiler. Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.
I installed the same knob in my 550i. Wired to the MENU button and the lights illuminate automatically with the rest of the instruments and you can adjust brightness like all the other gauges too. The color of mine is slightly more RED than the orangy instruments but no problm for me. It also creates some heat (minimal) at the shifter which I think of as a cheap winter option. It does look really cool at night for sure.
Good mod- not worth $250 (mine was slightly used for $60 on eBay) but a good add.

100 shipped is A GREAT DEAL! I got mine (non-lighted OEM though) for 45 shipped, but 100 shipped for the lighted one - is a steal, y'all!
