Purpose and compatibility with BMW models

The presented gear shift knob has been designed for popular BMW X1 series as well as 1, 3, and 5 series of the E generation, in LCI facelift versions. Its placement in the front part of the center console ensures intuitive access and a natural grip during gear changes, which is important both in daily city driving and on the road.

As an OEM BMW part, the knob maintains the correct proportions, mounting geometry, and compatibility with the factory gear lever, which facilitates installation and helps maintain a consistent look for the entire center console.

Appearance, color, and ergonomics

The chrome finish in the Chrome shade highlights the line of the center console and blends well with other BMW interior trims, such as aluminum strips or silver-colored elements. The properly contoured surface of the knob promotes a secure grip, which translates into precise lever guidance during dynamic gear changes.

The contrast between the chrome and the other console elements improves the visibility of the lever position while giving the interior a more orderly, technical character. This solution will be particularly appreciated by drivers who pay attention to the stylistic consistency of the cabin and the functionality of the controls.

Technical characteristics and installation

The knob is intended for a manual transmission with a six-gear layout, which allows it to maintain compatibility with the factory gear shift pattern in many BMW engine versions. Its location at the front of the vehicle interior means the element works directly with the selector mechanism, which is why proper fitment is crucial for the precision of the entire system's operation.

The product is used, making it a cost-effective solution for repairing or refreshing the interior while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Replacing the knob is a standard service operation that can be performed in a short time without interfering with the transmission structure.

Practical application and benefits of replacement

Replacing a worn or damaged knob with an original element with a chrome finish allows you to:

• restore the aesthetics of the center console after intensive use,
• increase grip comfort and confidence in operating the lever,
• maintain visual consistency with other BMW interior elements,
• preserve the factory feel of the manual transmission operation.
