BMW Shift Knobs, Shift Boots, & Shift Handles for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Your shift knob and your steering wheel (along with the pedals) are some of the most important control surfaces in your car. We believe these surfaces should not only look exceptional but perform and function beyond expectations. We offer shift knobs that are Original BMW parts, MOMO from Italy, and other brands that we feel make driving more enjoyable and enhance the technical sophistication that your BMW embodies.

BMW shift knobs are easy to replace. On manual transmission models, the knob is pressed into a groove at the top of the shift lever. It simply needs to be pulled off - place the transmission into 2nd gear and yank hard towards your chest (not your head). 2nd gear offers a better leverage point than anything else. To install the new knob just slide it over the shift lever and press down firmly. You will feel the knob 'snap' into place.

Note that some factory knobs are a one-piece design with the boot. Upgrading your knob may require a new boot as well.

This Genuine BMW shift knob is about 3/4" shorter than the "standard" shift knobs and is weighted (5.4oz) to give a better, more substantial, shifter feel for the driver. We love the subtle, yet noticeable improvement this makes in the "feel" of gear changes. It's also identical in size/shape/weight to the shift knob that came on the E46 330 ZHP, and is available in either 5 speed or 6 speed gear shift patterns.

Your choice of shift patterns:
+ 5 Speed ZHP Shift knob: BMW Part # 25117896031 (25-11-7-896-031)
+ 6 Speed ZHP Shift knob: BMW Part # 25117896886 (25-11-7-896-886)

BMW ZHP Shift Knob installed in E36 M3 Perhaps best of all, this shift knob fits ALL 1982 and newer manual transmission BMWs. That's right -- this knob can be used on ALL BMWs, 1982 and later. So no matter what model BMW you have -- E30, E36, E46, E90 or E92 or anything else -- this knob will look, work, and feel GREAT. This knob also looks and works great on all 1 series including 128i and 135i.

Note that many newer models have a 1-piece knob + boot. This is standard on most M cars and on some other BMWs. We sell new replacement boots to use with this shift knob, choose the option below if you would like one included with your order (not for E9X M3 models).

This weighted shift knob makes shifts faster and the extra-large globe shape encourages over-palm shifting. The Black Forest Industries Billet Knob weighs in at 8.8oz (250g), about twice as much as a stock knob and a little heaver than the BMW ZHP knob. The heavier knob amplifies the pendulum motion of the shift lever resulting in smoother and faster shift times. BFI has designed this knob for BMW and VW fitments to fit snug on the shift lever and be secured with Allen set screws. They were careful to reduce tolerances compared to universal knobs. The overall height of the BFI knob is the same as stock anatomic knobs (some BMW M/Performance models have a stock knob that is shorter than this one).

Included with the BFI Billet knob is a matching BFI crest shift emblem. A 5 or 6-speed pattern emblem is available separately.

Choose from soft alcantara or perforated air leather with either a silver or black anodized base.
