Unhappy Threaded knob to BMW M knob

So I know this isn稚 common, but I知 building a Driving simulator using ALL the Interior of an E82, and I知 trying to adapt my Logitech shift knob (threaded) to fit a BMW M shift knob, and I can only find adapters for doing the reverse. Does anyone know where I could get/make such An adapter? Thanks!
(Here痴 a sneak peek)

Well that is an interesting setup. But sorry I don't have a recommendation for you.

Thank you for the response, what I am looking for is actually the opposite. My Logitech shift knob has threads, and I want to put an OEM BMW shift knob on it. BMW shift knobs do not use threads, so I need to adapt it to 10x1.25.

You could use that item upside down, with a coupler nut, or reducing nut.

Also a great Idea, but the only thing I知 lacking is how to actually attach it to the OEM shift knob. I think what I知 going to do is buy this shift lever (for an E46 lol) cut off the bottom, and drill threads into it. Thanks for all the input and ideas!

After watching a YouTube video on installing an M performance shift knob, I think I have a solution. Go to a hardware store, and find a 10 x 1.25 metric cap bolt, cut the head off, hacksaw a slot where the head used to be, then epoxy the bolt into the shift knob.
Then use a coupler nut to attach it to the male thread on your Logitec.

It should work.

Thanks, I might try that actually!

I知 thinking Assetto Corsa will be one of the most realistic, and Forza Horizon just for fun. Do you have any suggestions?

No, sorry. A buddy of mine loves Assetto Corsa and BeamNG and iRacing. I'm more of an RPG type person
