Hey everyone, thank-you for stopping by!
This update takes place in
October 2019.
Seeing as I’m planning to upgrade my Steering Wheel, I wanted to continue focusing my attention to the interior.
I was inspired with Michael’s (M3Post Member: "
leemik") M3, with all of his rare goodies. I took particular note of his Shift Knob being Titanium. I have never seen a Titanium shift knob option for the E9X platform, so I quickly asked Michael about how he did it.
It turns out that this shift knob requires an adapter to use. I turned to DND Performance Interior for their BMW Threaded Adapter 12x1.25.
BACK TO THE SHIFT KNOB.
Here is a picture of it in Michael’s car:
Ok so this shift knob is made by renowned JDM tuner,
Powerhouse Amuse. This is their R1 Titan-division Titanium Shift Knob. Price-aside, this is probably one of the
BEST shift knobs money can buy on the market.
I had to stay true to my roots of pure JDM, so shout-out to Michael for getting creative and doing something unique in the E9X community; you definitely inspired me to make this happen for Sky.
I purchased the Powerhouse Amuse Shift Knob from Nengun, and it arrived safely in no time!
Please enjoy the pictures of the knob:
I then wanted to upgrade something on the interior that I recently saw and fell in love with. This is one of those mods that is tasteful, and can really make the interior
POP…Coloured Instrument Gauge Cluster!
Here’s a picture of the one I saw online that caught my eye:
There are a couple different options available on the market, however I was most impressed with the quality of
Venoxy Gauge Faces.
Why? Well for one, they are not stick-on covers but rather full replacements. I could even customize it to my liking with the correct instrument readings (KMs).
Bartek@Venoxy even offers some unique customization features like a Honeycomb backing look:
After talking with
Bartek@Venoxy, we ultimately decided on this design:
Notice on the Speedometer it says “
Sky”…I thought that was a nice subtle touch.
I received them back in October and they came with very well documented instructions that my mechanic will follow when he installs them.
Please enjoy the pictures:
Stay tuned for next update…something small arrived, but will make another nice subtle difference to the rear-end.
