F10 M5 shift knob vs ZHP knob

audioMeth · 09-15-2012, 03:46 PM

today i was at the dealer and i was checking the new M5 that they have in the show room. i noticed that its shift knob is very similar to the zhp knob, so i was thinking can this be a suitable replacement for my stock unweighted knob. can anyone comment on the differences? is it weighted? would the purchase of the m5 knob save me from having to mod a zhp?

after some searching it looks like it has been mentioned in the 1addicts forum that the knob and boot are one piece can anyone confirm this?

sorry i was referring to the m5's i am aware ours already is, i should have been a little more clear.

edit: i would hate to buy the m5's only to have to cut the boot off.

No different that what we do to ours really unless having a one piece bothers you somehow.

i am looking at from a cost perspective, the all in one design is going to cost more then a stand alone modded zhp. i'm just being cheap

Cost? If that's the case, you shouldn't even be considering it since there's almost no way you could get this part for cheaper than a modded ZHP from eBay.

i would rather pay the 100$ for the oem knob versus modified, if its all in one it will probably be 200+
