Looking for a very good to excellent condition domed wood shift knob without a roundel. Thanks in advance.
Wanted Original Wood Shift Knob
- Thread starter adawil2002
- Start date
These pop up on ebay germany if you haven’t already set up a search there yet, I just got one for a friend recently and I found an nos one there a few years ago.
Can they by done on a lathe? Plastic insert can be 3D printed (as many do today).
With such a scenario it the best option to select material or paint to fit the rest perfectly.
It could also be the cheapest and fastest in the end.

I saw one on Kleinenzeigen yesterday but has a lot of PATINA.
I have two of them... that need restoration.
They aren't a single piece of wood so you could perhaps do the base piece on a lathe but you'd still need to veneer the top per the originals...these were the correct shift knob for CSL's...

Or - going for high end piece - make it all from walnut, oak, auburn... ;-)
All coupes i believe. Our 2800 has one too.
Early coupes specifically, as I understand it. You see the solid wood ones semi frequently but not so many of the 2-piece.
Maybe because they fall apart?
Ours is thicker on top, I’ve never looked at one or two pieces. Headed to Eugene for Collin’s graduation from Oregon.
Wow- Time flies!!!!
Congrats to Collin!!!!
Congrats to Collin!!!!
Congrats to Collin ! Wow that was fast, seems like you were just doing your post retirement baseball tour!
Didn't CS Werk have some NOS ones a while back? Or were they repops?
Hey Andrew, I know you are looking for an original, but a good option as others have mentioned is to have one made. I had a wood one made to look like the 2002 stock one and it turned out pretty nice. I used this guy that also makes wood knobs out of old skateboards: https://www.builtbybasil.com/
Good luck!
Good luck!
The first one, maybe. No logo on top?
first one has a BMW logo, second one doesn't have any
The original coupe knobs had no Roundel, the dealer may have sold knobs with Roundels. Second knob is too skinny.
