The tan leather boot and black knob with mcolor 5sp insert was stock in US. Replacements in tan(natur) are not to be found in the aftermarket.
My wife bought me a new boot-knob for Christmas and paid $200 at the dealer. I didn't even ask- how cool is that? I found it for $144 at a dealer online but I don't remember where.
Black leather boot-knob(about $40 BAS, BMP) may look okay, since the new natur boot looks slightly different than the console anyway.
Same for the other tan parts - BMW dealer or nothing.


I was under the impression that my tan(Natur) boot and black ///M shift nob were both stock, but someone mentioned that the stock shifter s/b tan as well. What's the deal?

They told me I should replace the boot and nob, handbrake boot, and some other stuff to preserve it as they are very expensive to get. Anyone know the part numbers for suitable replacements? Will regular e28 parts fit?

Thanks.

Sean
