Walnut trim, but aluminum knob?

NaTuReB0Y · 09-24-2005, 12:39 AM

It might be an obvious question, but how come
I have Black/Black with Walnut trim....but my
knob is aluminum? Shouldn't it be walnut all the
way around? Is walnut knob an option too? Damn!!

No, same case happened on the E60. They are available as accessories so they should be available at your dealer.

Natureboy-
I totally thought the same thing when i 1st picked up my car. I thought it was interesting that they would use alum knob although the rest of the car is burl. It sucks that if u want everything to match you have to pay more for it. It should be an option, i didnt want alum so why do i have to pay for burl when it was STANDARD.

walnut trim on my car with aluminum steptronic knob and leather handbrake handle.

i don't mind that combo for me as the knob matches the idrive knob and the handle matches my black leather interior.

i understand your questions and dissatisfaction.

Oz · 09-24-2005, 07:33 AM

Yeah, I also like it like that because it matches the idrive knob. But I may change it in the future...

BellasBmw · 09-24-2005, 11:31 AM

Yeah, but i do not have Idrive.. so its a bit strange that it doesnt match. It just seems like 1 thing after another! im pooooor now

My bday is coming up in a couple months... any takers? hahah..

Anyone know of the cheapest place to get the Walnut Shift knob for MT?

tiga901 · 09-25-2005, 09:50 AM

I ordered mine from bimmerbum.com ...Ed is really nice fellow.

Even without idrive, I like the combo. The two tone is a constant reminder that my 3 is both sporty and luxurious with the walnut wood trim.

D-Rock · 09-26-2005, 08:49 PM

I like it like that i think it would be to much with it

davinet78 · 09-27-2005, 09:17 AM

you can find those walnut knobs on ebay

mattldm · 09-27-2005, 09:54 AM

Crevier BMW quoted $116.00 for the Poplar shift knob for the Manual trans. I would assume the Walnut would be the same price. (Ask for Vaheh in the parts dept.)

BMWCCA members save 15% off of that price too!
