I bought my Shift Boot on eBay from the UK and is very nice.
This is probably the same one and is about $80 shipped.

Thanks. Ordered!
It is probably one of two things. (both have been mentioned here)
1. The "pawl" that connects the two parts of the ignition switch may be broken or breaking. It can usually be fixed by replacing the electrical part of the switch which is accessed by removing the bottom cover of the steering wheel.
2. The starter is on its last legs and needs to be replaced.
To test which one it is, use a multimeter to see if 12V is reaching the the trigger wire either to or at the starter when the key is turned to the start position. If not, it is the electrical part of the key switch. If so, it is the starter.
extremely helpful. Ordering parts and testing. Thanks so very much.
Wait, mine is the entire platform, not just the boot!
Also form the UK it would be for RHD

I installed in LHD 2800CS with no issues. I suspect right and left are the same. If Scott is looking for the entire platform, I agree with you. Then CS Werk might be the way to go.

Oh, you missed my smiley, of course they are the same. Leather is axially symmetrical I think.Arde:

My bad. It is difficult (atleast for me) to correctly understand humor on line! In hindsight, it was a good one.
Lol
It's a reasonable assumption. The shift lever is angled differently for LHD and RHD so I bias could be incorporated into the boot. ( Serious face here. )
Really??
Well it is in mine.
The 2800CS ZF trans had a LHD and RHD version of the shifter but the Getrag uses the same for both LHD and RHD according to the parts book. The shift platform is the same as well.
Trying to get my ignition issue solved and my mechanic asked me to post the following question:
Can you ask if there is a wire running straight to the starter or does it go into a relay

No relay on a stick shift coupe. Run a wire from battery to terminal at 6:00 position on solenoid and it will crank if starter is good.

Are you a sought after trivia partner? Or is your talent for pulling out facts limited to e9s? If we (forum members) had a nickel for every time you answered one of these, we’d all be rich. In fact someone would likely have launched a space travel company by now. I’d definitely own several CSLs. Thanks and keep them coming.
I think he's (also) good with the orange parts books. Being good with books is generally the trade that trivia professionals have in common....
I got the new shift boot, and it seems perfectly symmetrical to me
A nickel for every comment = $838.20
