e90 Alpina shift knob?

left123 · 12-13-2013, 02:15 PM

Good afternoon.

I am looking for an Alpina shift knob like the one in this picture here:

Has anyone seen this for sale anywhere? Obviously this is a right hand drive car but I was under the impression that Alpina only came in automatics now.

Any help is much appreciated.

Very interesting. I stand corrected and that is good news then. Does the interior of the link I put in post 1 look like your buddy's car? If so, I need to find that shift knob but its not for sale from Alpina directly it seems (at least I haven't been able to figure it out).

Thanks.

That looks a lot like the e46 M shifter, with an Alpina emblem on it and a custom boot..

Exactly, but I don't know where to get that Alpina emblem to retrofit. I would love to fit it on my current zhp shift knob for a modified look.

Anyone have any insight, particularly our European brethren/sisters?
