Looking for something similar for the Z4 but the problem is the interior is grey not black and there doesn't seem to be anything out there. I know mr_tommo on here has had the same problem as I saw his posts on the Z4 forum when I was googling

not sure why he is getting grief for it tbh! helped me out!

I'll find the link my friend got his from and forward it on, his is a cream interior so had a similar problem to you

It was quite expensive, like £60 or something, but it does look the dogs danglies. Much nicer than the original. Fact it's weighted is just a bonus

Was the original knob just too big for you to handle?

It'll fit that new 120d of yours

It was getting that way, I mean it might seem at first that having a big knob is a huge plus point but it gets in the way of daily life, you know?

I actually thought he was joking when he said he was going to post a thread about a new gear knob, I should have known better. Is that a thread in his carpet?

I'm just please he said Gear Knob, just think it could have been much worse!

that's horrible!

Hmmm, is something I have considered changing in my car.

Looks good.

I remember when I got excited about knobs...........wait, that sounds wrong. When I was young we all used to have replacement Mini knobs.......hang on, this is going from bad to worse. Just so you know where I stand, I'm out! Hang on, now you think I'm coming out in a gay way, that's not what I mean M'Kay.......hang on, now I sound like the gay teacher from South Park.

OCUK, Dangerous Waters!

Looks nice, don't think it would work in the Micra though!

No, that's a cartoon and not real, it's not the Simpsons!

I don't think the original knob was that big that you should feel threatened by it, it's not the size that counts, it what you do with it..

Impressively clean interior though

I've been mentioning my dislike of those horse penis knobs for a while now...

FWIW I said to get a short sport knob a long time ago!
