CSL's = only if you plan on selling Ching at local nightclubs.

Standard operating procedure for BMW convertibles IIRC?

Sorry Rob

How do you think he affords to change his car every fourteen days ?

He's started blowing Dave?

Zhp knob is nice, on my m3 you couldn't really tell its illuminated tbh!

Csl's- Noway!

[TomSx]

If you get CSL's you may as well find a way to get angel eyes on there too..haha

[Kane.]

It needs CSL's Rob.

Looking great

Light up gear knob ftw.

If you'd just fitted it and taken pictures, people would love it. It's not like it lights up the whole of the interior. It's subtle.

[Rob]

I cannot get over how divided opinion is on things. I'm about to order a standard zhp knob though I think. It can come from the UK that way too.

*Puts hand up*

Love the car, btw


But - couldn't care less about the gear knob really


CSL wheels all the way here

Cheers mate, the csl wheels will go on eventually, but I think I'm going to tidy up the standard ones first.

Myself, I prefer it if the c**kpit is wihtout lights when driving at night. if I could fit a SAABeqsque "Night-panel" switch to my car I'd do it in a snap.


But, of course, that's just my idea.

Besides, are you going to forget your gate pattern and need to stare at the shifter to remember which way it goes? I can't imagine so. It just seems tacky. Z4M-spec or not.

Oh, and CSL wheels are superior. WHich is probably why they cost

I just liked the look of the illuminated knob, and a bright cabin isn't something I'm too fussed about. BUT having looked I think a illuminated knob would need to imported, and I can't be arsed with that.

I would just like to reiterate how wonderful this car sounds

That is all.

Bet you had a look on pistonheads last night didn't you?

Normal gear knob!! Wheels have grown on me though! Lowered = McDonalds carpark.

Alan, lowered on eibachs and 19's is pretty much unnoticeable to the naked eye. I'm going to tidy the standard ones up first though don't worry.

Why so? I think they look pretty OEM?

If you get CSL's you may as well find a way to get angel eyes on there too..haha

Why so? Do you really think CSL's look that noticeably not standard to anyone not in the know?

It needs CSL's Rob.

Looking great

Cheers mate.

FFS I was just about to order a normal one.

I can't believe I'm this torn about a f**king gear knob.

[TheEvilGiraffe]

For goodness sake man, buy something you like - if you want your knob to glow in the dark, get on with it !

People (hi) have slated your clothes/shoes/dresses for years on here yet you still dress like a lady.

[Rob]

Only light up ZHP I can find for sale is ebay and german though... hmmmm

[chris_p]

My advice would be go for what you want mate.
You need to remember that the views on here are car enthusiast forum goers; we think about these things way too much!
I can assure you with a set of csls and a subtle drop the general public will not be shouting chav at you as you drive past lol.

[Rob]

On the bright side I've found a place in essex that does the ZHP knob, but not the illuminated one.

I may fit that Saturday.

[Tom]

Carbon looks alright..



Loving "Maritime"

But this is the nuts..

They're just as bad as the older M3 wheels imo. Every chav with a BMW aspires to fit them.

[Scrooge]

Maritime is awesome!

[Rob]

Tom, mines looks more like the bottom one, it's just brushed metal. If the piece around the gearknob etc was in perfect nick I'd keep mine no contest, I'm just a fussy f**ker.

That woodwork though, very... not me? ha

Called the place in essex for the gear knob, none in stock and it'll take until monday, boring.

[.Adam.]

That Maritime one is woeful.

[Revels]

Light up gear knob ftw.

Agree'ded'd.

When are we ever wrong? Exactly.

Get it bought.
