The electric version is perfect for manual transmissions due to the shift lights (adjustable if you have a higher rev limit) and helped me quite a bit on the track. The 0-62 mph and 1/4 mile timing, G force meter and oil & coolant temps are also pretty cool too! Kind of Knight Rider/Ricey-ish, but has so much practicality that I love it--second most favorite mod after the MPE.
Shift lights in the 6sp cars as well I probably would have stayed with the stocker... BUT I like the 2.0 E wheel for the shift lights and G-meters specifically. The 0-60 and 1/4mi timers are pretty cool too. I bought a matching alcantara/performance-stitch shifter to tie the two together(also prefer the stock style shifter to the M5 one now that I've swapped back). Both are wearing well but I am really trying to keep them clean as I go.

I bought the wheel thinking I'd recover it in Nappa leather initially and with the shifter I'll likely keep them as-is until they are too worn to restore...
