Any particular type? And I assume you mean for a manual gearbox.

Yes, manual and just a normal Z3 item . My original was the leather and chrome type which would be nice. Main thing is one in good condition or I will not be making any improvement on the old one.

Cheers,
Ken.

There are quite a few different finishes. Chrome one on my car has an ///M logo on it, but there are also brushed aluminum and leather only variants. The only spare I have is a bit worn, I was mainly asking so that others will know what you want.

I have a genuine 5 speed ///M one finished in matt chrome and leather which is in excellent condition. I'd let it go for £40 including postage if your interested.

Shame it's not the bright chrome one as I need that myself.

It is badly scratched and the plastic core split so it pulls off in your hand when changing gear too vigorously - that's why I replaced it. It is the same as mrscalex posted above.

You may best send Andy / "Spurs Fan in a Coupe" a message, he breaks Z3's and may have a decent knob for you at a reasonable price... :wink:
