OEM BMW Shift Knobs

BMW shift knobs come straight from the factory under many names. They're called everything from gear knobs or gear shift knobs to stick shift knobs and gear sticks. Mounted to the floor in front of the center console in your BMW car or SUV, they're but one of the many auto parts that make up your manual or automatic transmission system. The primary job of any shifter knob is to provide a firm grip when changing gears. However, many also indicate the gears to which you can shift, along with the direction to pull the gear shift lever when you do. Just grasp the shift knob, press the clutch if you drive a BMW with a manual gearbox, then, pull the lever in the correct direction: shifting is that easy. What a shift knob is made of depends on whether you're driving one of the brand's many everyday luxury cars or one of its performance vehicles. It can also depend on your style. A shifter's grip can be made of plastic or metal, or even carbon fiber. Some knobs also come wrapped in vinyl or leather. They can also differ in shape or size, and select models come weighted. Shift knobs with weights are designed to minimize shift effort and time, making shifting much smoother. Replace the shift knob in your BMW if it frays or wears excessively, or if you want to give your interior a touch of sophistication. Some universal knobs use an adapter kit to fit most vehicles, but the best shift knob to get is a genuine BMW, customized to fit to your car or SUV perfectly.
