Which gear knob do you have right now?

What age is your car?

You have the standard step auto? I don't think this will fit.

Never seen anyone try to fit to be honest.

I'd say, yes, it will fit with some modification. Might even be a direct fit but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm new to BM's so not that knowledgeable on them yet.
It's the auto gear knob with the paddles too.

It's a shame if that doesn't fit and work with the lights as I think it looks great.

Might call the place up and see what they say.

It's been fitted to E60's so I'd assume with slight modification it can work. Speak to M Style and see what they say but I think they might echo what I've said.

Thanks for the advise.

Called them up. Straight swap but it doesn't illuminate.

You could probably get it to illuminate with a bit of wiring. Did you ask?

Doesn't actually have that ability on the ones they supply he said. It is possible on the official ones though. Splice into some wires.

Ah okay, I thought he meant it wasn't possible at all when I know it is possible! Didn't realise he meant the M Style ones don't light up. In any case are you going for it?

No don't think. Seems more hassle and money than it's worth to be honest. Will used the money towards something else. Darkline lights or rear diffuser maybe.

If it's a direct fitment then you could try and fit it yourself? Save some pennies?

True but heard the official ones with working lights are a lot more expensive.

Understandable but you can also get Chinese ones that light up for cheaper. Check eBay I suppose to see if you can get a deal.
