I went with the non-illuminated zhp knob ( never liked illuminated shift knobs) and just cut my stock shift boot. Big difference over the stock one

Big money, but one of the best quality knobs I have ever seen.

too bad the m3 shifters arent threaded... there are really good shift knobs out there like the tommy kaira hebi bebi and ARC titan shift knobs, but both needs a threaded shifter!

I don't foresee any issues with daily use. The one pictured is roughly 1 inch shorter than the full length extension. I daily drive the full length extension.

I wish someone had a similar set up I could try out here in OC... I dont know if I want to drop that much to mod it since I am pretty used to the OEM one now but I hate it. What I would like to feel before modding is, is it something I am comfortable with and if I can adapt to the "new" difference.

I've installed aluminum pedals, UUC SSK and DSSR and have tried both ZHP and Performance shift knobs. Got a nice leather boot from LeatherZ. Initially I thought ZHP was better but have now settled with performance knob, as I think it's a little shorter and lighter and less bulky, making for quicker shifts. Almost feels close to S2000 kinda feel now with performance...

You will love it...trust me! I bought my illuminated ZHP knob for $99 on ebay though. Leather Z was a bit pricy IMO.

I had the Short Shifter Knob (Same thing as ZHP) on my 335 and loved it.... IF BMW made a OEM one (illuminated) for the M3 I would of been all over it.... I am just not in the mood to modify / destroy the OEM knob that came with the car..... This was one of my 1st mods on the 335

The Alcantara/Performance is the best one for this car. I have had all others and they look to old fashioned or cheap. OEM is the worst. Its like a tractor shifter. We drive a 6 speed not 18 speed.
