I hope we can find one. I don't like the all-metal knob in the '08; i prefer the one one I had in my '07 335i. Anybody know if they're interchangeable?

ACS makes an idrive knob that looks like a wheel. It is the most hideous creation ever. Check out the ACS GP car or Tony Kanaan's car...both have it

Longtran made an interesting thread regarding the LCI iDrive control knob in pre LCI cars.

mine actually broke off today and the silver knob is in my golve box, lol.

I guess I'm rolling terminator style until my next service

I'm afraid to ask, but how did it break off?

Coming soon. The iDrive knob is my least favorite part in the M3.

I guess you guys don't appreciate the design by Bang & Olufsen.

Oh really what will it loo like? Smaller? Will the 09 knob work on an 08, maybe?

Heat00 · 03-21-2009, 10:00 AM

here you go....

JohnnyRoaster · 03-21-2009, 10:05 AM

It knid of looks like a cheap faucet knob. You should put a "C" or an "H" on it.

Heat00 · 03-21-2009, 05:54 PM

lol, I just want the ugly silver knob re-installed

kmarei · 03-22-2009, 04:58 PM
