A handcrafted rosewood shift knob designed for classic BMW interiors. Built with a solid brass base, 158g balanced weight and optional 5-speed, 6-speed, BMW or custom logo engraving. Ideal for BMW E30, E36, E46, E90, E92, E39, E60 and Z4 manual builds with confirmed fitment.
Unlike metal shift knobs, natural wood feels more comfortable in hot summer and cold winter conditions. The smooth lightbulb shape fits naturally in the palm, while the 158g weight gives each shift a more deliberate and satisfying feel.
Each piece is individually made from real wood, so the grain pattern and color tone will vary slightly. That natural variation is part of what makes every knob unique.
