I was pretty pissed because I was told the one he sent would have the ///M light up. |

Just jumped in. Will report my results, and I plan to modify the OE boot.

Some pix. Day and garage door closed simulated night. Keep in mind, I used the OEM cap. The one it came with would not have had the lit ///M.

Also - your shifter is LOW! I'm assuming you have an SSK as well? ~Brad |

It was easy. I just used a small screwdriver and pried the cap off the oem. Did the same on the replacement and swapped them. And I wanted the illuminated knob.
Have you seen the DIY for making a Non-illum into an illum? The cap is just a cap. LEDs sit further down. And no SSK. Just the replacement knob.

The eBay knob comes with two wires you have to splice to your stock harness, no connector. |

Anyone had problem tracking their shift knob.. I ordered from the same seller. He gave me a deutsche post tracking number. I tried using it to track my shipment because it was long overdue. I got nothing show up. Hopefully just the custom delay or something. Would hate to wait all over again

Ordered mine 5/3/12 and the knob arrived perfectly in a padded mailer on 5/23/12.
... I guess I'll order the harness connector to put on the bare wires.

I purchased the ZHP knob a while back from Tischer - used it for 5 seconds and knew it wouldn't ever be coming off. Then I discovered the whole thread on DIY ZHP (swapping the LED board from your hollow stock knob and putting it in the ZHP). I was then at the end of that thread where someone mentioned the German ebay seller who mod's the ZHP's...
Trust me, for $30 more than Tischer, you get the exact same ZHP knob, but lit. Pull off your stock knob and boot, cut the leather off up near the knob. Reinstalling takes minutes, just wire up the new knob (being careful to leave a bit of slack in the wires inside the knob so that when you pull it off it doesn't rip the wires off the LED board. To me, not having the lit M logo is fine for nearly $100. It takes 15 minutes and looks just like the photos above. I wouldn't go back.

Just installed this, great deal. Wasn't too hard to install. Would highly recommend ordering the spare wires and swapping the pin connector.

Don't return it or f-it. Mod it! There is a DYI on here to mod it yourself and make it illuminated.

so i used a zip tie to attach the modified boot from the stock shifter onto the metal rod - but i'm not like how the connector piece of the zip tie makes the leather boot stick out. any ideas?

I know exactly what you mean. I found a smaller zip tie that had less plastic where it zips. This way it doesn't bulge as much. I then rotated it around so that it was at the front of the shifter where I was less likely to see it.

ZHP install
Just installed mine - 15 minutes, no problem. Replaced the shift pattern insert with the stock one so the M lights. I normally don't buy no name parts, but this is a nice piece.

Awesome! Don't think of it as a no-name part. It's a Genuine OEM knob that's just been modified. You're installing what BMW should have been doing from the start on all 3 series manuals.
