Gear knob is staring to look a bit tatty, it is 15 years old though!

Has anyone suggestions/pics of a suitable replacement?

I'm thinking of just replacing like for like, but I'm open to ideas.

Thanks for the replies!

I'm torn now between a nice leather illuminated one and that smashing looking stormwerks one :?

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

I've had the Schnitzer Knob some years now which I love but it does get seriously cold especially in the morning during winter so wear driving gloves, have thought of going back to the original illuminated leather knob but doesn't look anywhere near as good.

I do have a knob warmer :wink:
