Sure driving a stick shift is fun, but not when it involves grabbing the business end of a soldiering iron. The early days of the sport compact car scene called, however, and it was time to return our E46-chassis M3’s aftermarket aluminum shift knob. What was cool 15-plus years ago just didn’t work today. Plus, in the summer, it got …
These M3 articles are killing me . . . I’ve reignited my search for another one.

There are a few that have caught my eye. A lovely one in Atlanta . . . But retrieval is a pain right now with closed borders.
Never been unsatisfied with anything I have purchased from Condor.
Whalen Shift Machine are famous for heavy metal but will make a shift knob out of almost anything. I got a miniature snooker ball in my old Mini.
I am getting a new zhp knob for my m3/4/5

That's what I have on my e36. Great choice.

Carlos is good people. True story: I have something waiting in the garage for the Miata from the Condor catalog. (And, oddly, also have something from BimmerWorld on the way for the Miata, too.)

My favorite. Perfect palm fit and the leather is butter. Also weighted.
Although I run a jaffster 6" delrin (sp) knob on my racecar and love the elevated shift position.....

Serious question, is the e46 5 speed swapped or just ignoring the 6th speed?
In reply to Olemiss540 :
It still has a six-speed box. The coolness of the five-speed shift knob cap, however, won out.
I had never used a Delrin knob before I bought a flyin miata one for Ronald the Crappy Miata.
Absolutely loved it, and the one you chose for your M3 is a EXCELLENT choice.
I'm using a Leather one in my FIt because it was a factory option and i love the feel, one of those little ball shift knobs like the old VW GTi.

What closed borders ??
Aaaand. I just ordered a Kamei golf ball from heritage parts just in case another rabbit comes my way.
I mean, it would be better to have one in case I needed it rather than not, right?

Canada US border is my guess.
