Oh cool, I like the sound. are there any pics around ?

Thanks for that picture gannet. Do they do them for the six speed and do they all come with the M logo.
have you any idea how much shorter they are than the standard fit knob ?

They do a non M logo'd version but you have to order that one from the states through leatherz I believe and it is more expensive.

I took the view that it is a small logo, and I have m-sport seats and suspension so doesnt look too out of place

I did something similar. Used a black snooker ball and mounted it as low as possible, about 1.1 inch lower then the oe knob. It's perfect for the feel and shorter shift lever movement. Maybe I should have used a 6 ball?

I see that many of you like the Storm shift knob. Does it really smooth out the shifts as advertised?
