Nice instructions and threads... the M3 sedan is looking like a potential great replacement to the beast.

About 3 hours, much easier if you have access to a lift or jackstands at the very least.

I bought the non-lighted ZHP shift knob for my 09 335 and I absolutely love it. Amazing difference. Now I want to do one for my new e90 M3. I'm delighted to hear that a lighted ZHP knob exists!!

So, can you get a pre-fited boot for the lighted knob? Or must one cut the stock boot on the car?

You can, but it will cost you quite a bit, especially if you don't use the plastic ring on yours (check Leatherz.com for the prices). The cut can't be seen since the boot is rolled over at the top (just like on the 335i).

If you're concerned about the commitment, then do what I did--take the entire boot off and only put the new knob on. Drive it for a week and decide if you like it well enough to commit to cutting the stock one.

Or spend $200. Your call.
