Took about 5 minutes to install. Dang, what a sweet looking knob. I love the look of the illumination. Great touch. Highly recommend their work.

Post pics, I'd like to see what it looks like illuminated. Thnx

I think he got the same one I did. Awesome knob.

well, I tried to take pictures, but I was not able to hold the camera still enough for the illuminated shots, so instead of a nice illuminated shift pattern, it was a furry red blob. So just go here (http://leatherz.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=01&Product_Code =ModifiedIlluminatedShiftKnob&Category_Code=Interi or) . I actually purchased my chrome/leather knob last summer. However, I wanted mine illuminated, so I contacted LeatherZ and he modified mine to illuminate. Highly, highly recommend. Andy at LeatherZ does great work.

Does it look like this, or does yours have a different setup?

[m3f_300ZXNA_1b0983de7b]

mine is chrome, yours appears to be matte. Other than that, they are identical. Good pic . . .

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Ahhh. *nods* I couldn't decide if I wanted matte ore chrome at first. I was going to go with chrome to match my cluster rings and the rings around my window switches, but I decieded that would be a bit flashy.



LeatherZ did an awesome job with the knob, its really solid. :thumbsup:

Hi guys.. im pretty new to the Forums...atm i Drive a Mini S ... but im dying to get my hands on a Dolphin shape 2 door m3... been looking around..havent found the right one yet..looking at getting the knob for a friend...how does it look when its not illuminated... and how does it light up..?? is it with the car lights..??

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

When its not glowing the shift pattern has silver numbers and the ///M is colored the M color scheme.



Its wired into the dash lights, so when thoes are on, the shifter is on.



What is a Dolphin shape thing you're talking about?

[m3f_o8OneLight8o]

uuuhhh, does it work with an SSK?

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Mines sitting on my UUC Evo2 SSK...

[m3f_300ZXNA_1b0983de7b]

I see no reason why it wouldn't work with an SSK. The wires are routed internally on the knob, so they do not interefere with the pressure fit of the knob onto the shaft. Also, there was more than plenty of wire included, so you can make sure that you route the wire such that there is not undue tension on the wires.

A Dolphin Shape is just the Previous Shape Bmw... and the one before that is the Box SHape
