Whether you are driving through your back yard or climbing rocks in the woods, lighting is essential! Get rid of your under utilized factory ash tray(smoking is bad anyways) and replace it with your own personalized control panel for all of your add on electronics. Lighting is crucial and with specific switches tailored to all of the E53 lighting options you have a full suite of switches to match your lighting upgrades. Dont stop at lighting this switch panel can be used for whatever type of electronics your heart desires!

The switch panel fits in your dash perfectly and features 5 switch ports with an added securing point to manage your wires nice and tidy.

Design:

The E53 switch panel idea originated from ECS engineer Mike Day when adding a full build out of lighting to his overland X5. The best ideas come from the people who are in the process of achieving a goal and find a solution to help them complete the job, but better! The switch panel was designed off of a 3D scan of the E53 X5 interior and features OEM+ fitment to blend with your interior.

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.
