zz25 · 06-11-2006, 02:15 PM

Unfortunately, I don't pick up my car for another 9 weeks or so. I need a hobby or something to make this wait bearable!

BenMW · 06-11-2006, 02:18 PM

Nice addition...
Heres some pics...from ksfrogman's thread..

zz25 · 06-11-2006, 02:20 PM

It looks great. Can't wait to see how it looks with my aluminum trim.

Any of you guys have the part number/price for the M E-brake handle? Is it a noticeable difference when you have the M shift knob and stock e-brake? Do they look bad together? I did a quick search, but no luck. Thanks!

They are on a national backorder now. I ordered mine about a week ago... They say I will have to wait until June 27th or so to pick it up...

How can you make this thread and not tell us where you got it? :mad:

bavarian06 · 06-11-2006, 07:16 PM

was the shifter changed out only or was the entire shift link rod changed too? i was driving my friends 6MT this weekend, the throws are WAY too long. talk about covering distance between gears.

telling him to change the shifter

Ordered it at my dealer with BMWCCA discount... Im paying about $30...

The e90 m short shifter definitely feels more special than the m hand brake lever. they should have made the m hand brake lever more chunky/thicker. it was only a visual change sadly for the hand brake lever with the pitted leather appearance.

Sorry. I had put it in another thread........Circle BMW for $113 (that includes shipping).

cbre90 · 06-12-2006, 08:09 PM

the real question is, does the shift knob light up like on the m5 or m3????????

FrankoQ · 06-13-2006, 08:49 AM

I ordered mine from Tischer BMW in MD.
They have 20% disc for BMW cca members.
M-Shifter = $100
M-brake handle = $24 (will arrive around the end of June)

BMWBMW · 06-13-2006, 03:01 PM

Does anyone have DIY pictorial instructions for the shifter and handbreak?

CMC · 06-13-2006, 03:12 PM

Looks good; how many horsepower does that add?

stressdoc · 06-13-2006, 03:16 PM

I wish we could get the M-sport goodies in a match for beige.
