I went out shopping the other day, and found this next to the grapes-



it had bmw on it so i bought it. Just as well as it turned out it to be an M5 gear knob from the new F10.



Its shorter yet better than my m3 one, with the same light up plug thingy wire end bit hmmmmm



Gaiter bases looked a bit different though i had a seriously awesome idea



Stage one knob reduction complete, worr new lass couldn't wait to see it get in to action



The smaller knob was easier to keep control of but it felt lost in this new big german box. Being used to tight little japanese boxes this just wasn't acceptable.

After 5 minutes of intense private session googling on the subject, I was done. It turns out i don't have to settle for a sloppy german boxes after all.

Cool update. What is the plug in bit on the knob for? I know BMW are sensor mad but wtf do you need to blog in a gear knob for.

PS car looking cooler by the day.

Pps if BMW ever make an m3 estate, I will buy it.

Ppps another steak picture please. Grapes are not man food. Fit birds that need to keep slim for men's gaze eat grapes. We need steak to satisfy fit bird needs.
