I do not have pics right now, but I have the UUC RK-not sure what number, but it is the medium sized one in stainless steel. It compliments the titan shadow trim pretty well.

did you have to change the boot to put that on? Isnt the boot connected to the knob of most M3s?

Yes, all of the newer M cars (E39, 46) have the boot and knob all one piece. I went to the dealer and bought a 330 shift booot for $30, and voila, looks perfect.

That's what i did. Picked up the boot from a 330 ZHP because i wanted to match the alcantara steering wheel and ebrake.

Just waiting for the damn dealer to get my Z8 shift knob in!! :mad

I'm pretty sure it looks just like the M5 knob. Chrome and leather, or just silver and leather. I really like the original M3/M5 shift knob that was chrome/leather, but the dealer told me it was discontinued. They just called, it's in stock now and they said it would fit an e39 M5. I am 99% sure that will fit my car too. Dealer is putting it on the 26th of this month, so i will let you guys know and post pics.

i want to put the 330zhp knob on mine except it's not illuminated. this knob is the most appealing cause it's nice and short. maybe leatherz can make it illuminated, i think it would be a hot seller. maybe if we get a group of people we can approach leatherz and ask for a groupbuy (the 330zhp knob is only 50 dollars to begin with)

Anybody have any pics of the ZHP's knob? I need something short, thats why I went with the UUC, but in the summer/winter the metal knob gets to be brutal.

I have the tms knob on my car. Awesome, big feel to it and a really good grip. In my car, it was also a one piece factory knob and boot so i bought the $20 boot and voila. Easy as hell to install too...took me 5 mins total, but thats true with most knobs.
