First Mod!

MikesBMW · 02-11-2011, 09:17 AM

So happy with the new shift knob and boot. I used to have a 135i that had a really nice shifter almost 100% like this one. I couldn't stand the big sloppy chrome one that comes stock in the 335i. The new sport one is much shorter, much less play in the shifter, very tight short shifts, plus the knob feels great and the new leather looks amazing compared to the worn and dried out leather of the stock boot.

I think I strained my back though struggling to yank off the stock knob, man that thing was on there tight.

Will take some better interior pics later.

Should have went for more of an asthetic change. Perforated leather?
