It seems impossible to find a old-school e21 or 2002 looking shift knob that fits our type of shifter stalk. Has anyone ever found anything old school oem looking with the bmw or Alpina logo? I was thinking along these lines:

I couldn't make the hyperlink work...
Thanks in advance

haha thats for shipping and handling. There isn't a price which leads me to believe that its not up for grabs

hahahaha...$10. I payed �40(about $56) for my well used Alpina knob and that was a flatout Bargain!! I cleaned it with wood cleaner/protector and it looks quite nice.

They go for about �80 over here on Ebay.de

i have been scanning ebay long and hard. MikeDE, does your alpina pop on like our more recent cars or is it a thread-on. I havent been able to find much info on whether or not there are adapters out there to use the older thread on style onto ours. I would imagine not, being the thread-on style is probably a smaller diameter. MikeDE, you wouldn't happen to have an easy photo on you to see what it would look like? thanks!
