Cool

The auto gear knob from a BMW 3 series E46 is just arrived on this very morning. I followed the how-to and the swap was done in 10 minutes, but what a shock when the rod jumped out suddenly while I was pulling hard & sharp! Happily neither nose bleeding nor black eye...

The colour looks very close, even it appears just a slight bit darker. But all the others on the flea bay were obviously too light, rather medium oak than walnut, and I wanted a whole wood one without any black leather.

Now I'm waiting for @Trikey / @Wolds_lady_2006 brake handle which is due to arrive soon I hope.
