Hello,

I've been wanting to replace my stock shift knob on my e92 335i for quite a while now.

I am interested in the BMW M Style ZHP 6spd knob. On Tischer or www.getbmwparts.com, the part # is 25117896031.

I call up my local BMW dealer and they say that it isn't available for my car because:

• it only comes in 5 speed
• it won't fit as it was for the e46

Is there a different part # for the 6speed version and can someone confirm that it does indeed fit?

Thanks,
Andrew

Zhp 6mt Pn - 25117896886

It will fit, because I just put it on last week. Have fun pulling the stock sport knob off.

Thanks e90Mark. I'm going to place the order on Monday and I'll let you know if I wack myself in the face!

This is just heads up. Your face is not the only to watch out. I managed to drop down my rear view mirror. I was really careful not to hit my face, but when the knob came off i managed to stop my hands before my face, but back of my head hit directly to rear view mirror. It was hanging off the wire. Took me awhile to figure out how it goes back in it place.

I found it easier to do it from the backseat. More leverage.

Good luck.

I was about to order OPS mentioned part number. Good thing I looked here first. So e90mark, the part number you gave was the exact zhp short knob but for the 6 speed? Thanks

Yes. Throw it into Google and see for yourself.

Just installed the new shift knob and it looks amazing! Can't wait to take the car out for a drive and see how it feels.

A few notes to address:

• Is it supposed to snap in when you install it? I feel like it's extremely easy to remove the knob in comparison to the stock knob which took lots of strengh to remove.
• Is there supposed to be a little gap between the end of the knob (the silver part) and the shift boot? It looks like it's not a 100% fit with the boot.

Mine looks/fits like the stock sport knob.

Push down on it to ensure fitment.

I don't think you have secured the knob. Mine sits flush with the boot. It also takes the same amount of force to remove as the stock knob. Give it a good smack dead center so that it can sit right.

[hunginator]

Hmm, alright. I guess I'll have to really apply some pressure/force to it. I was scared that I would break something.

Tried to bang it in a little bit more this time and definitely felt it snap right in. Now it's sitting flush with the boot and everything is great! Lovin' the new knob!

It supposed to snap on. If u look inside the knob, theres a parallel line that's supposed to match with the shifter. I heard mine snapped. Just installed it last night. I opened my sunroof with my head sticking out. Lol. And sat on center console and yanked it. I loved the feel of the knob and how low it is.
