If you have a love/hate relationship with the center armrest in your E46 this Euro center console is perfect for you! This is the Genuine BMW Euro console without the armrest. We sell new replacement boots to use with this shift knob, choose the option below if you would like one included with your order (not for E9X M3 models). This is standard on most M cars and on some other BMWs. Note that many newer models have a 1-piece knob + boot. This knob also looks and works great on all 1 series including 128i and 135i. So no matter what model BMW you have - E30, E36, E46, E90 or E92 or anything else - this knob will look, work, and feel GREAT. That's right - this knob can be used on ALL BMWs, 1982 and later.
Perhaps best of all, this shift knob fits ALL 1982 and newer manual transmission BMWs.
It's also identical in size/shape/weight to the shift knob that came on the E46 330 ZHP, and is available in either 5 speed or 6 speed gear shift patterns. We love the subtle, yet noticeable improvement this makes in the "feel" of gear changes. This Genuine BMW shift knob is about 3/4" shorter than the "standard" shift knobs and is weighted (5.4oz) to give a better, more substantial, shifter feel for the driver.
