I like the setscrew option of the V1 for swapping knobs, but it appears they are now press fit like the others. Jaffster - Looking around the forums I found a few members who recommended this knob following the AS SSK install and Vanne conveniently was selling a V1 version at the time, so again, “what the hell, why not?” If I had smaller hands and was still on a stock shifter, this would be a serious contender In addition, the small nature of the knob didn’t help with the shift feel for me on the SSK. However, the smaller ergonomics of the knob with my truckasaurus hands didn’t mesh well. At 6.3 oz, this knob is noticeably heavier than the ZHP. This is a seriously cool shift knob in appearance. I began searching for alternativesīMW Performance - p/n 25110429269 A buddy of mine had this knob laying around so we figured what the hell. With the increased “notchiness” feel of the shifting mechanism, it just didn’t feel as good anymore to be as the weight wasn’t enough to improve the shift feel. ZHP – p/n 25117896886 Following the SSK install, I hate to say the ZHP lost its magic feel for me. This remains my favorite knob in appearance and hand feel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it on the OEM shifting mechanismĪfter Auto Solutions SSK (ninja edit: also after Rouge Engineering transmission and Vibra-Technics engine mounts) Ergonomics of this knob are also amazing. Coming in at 5.4 oz, it made shifting gears feel SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER. ZHP – p/n 25117896886 Arguably, the most popular shift knob upgrade for the Z4M. Did not like the vagueness of the shift feel and tossed it aside pretty quick. OEM Broomstick – p/n 25117836906 Yes it lights up, but that’s all that is cool about this knob. I meant to post this a while ago, but here it is! I believe I have tried almost every common shift knob for the Z4M and figured I would share my thoughts with everyone considering a new knob! (Sorry in advance for the wall of text!)
