This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Sits 2.5 cm lower than factory knob so your hand reaches the gear shift faster and easier
- Knurled grip surface keeps your hand from slipping when you shift, even when your hands are wet or sweaty
- Custom noses snap onto your original mount so you get a secure fit without extra parts or tools
You want a shift knob that feels better in your hand and sits where you need it. This 3D printed shift knob for your E39 drops lower than the stock knob, so shifting feels quicker and more natural. The knurled surface grips your palm every time, giving you control when you move through the gears.
The design started from the Mishimoto short shifter concept but is built specifically for your car. Inside, little noses hold onto your original shift stick mount. Depending on your print settings, you may want to wrap the stick in a bit of tape first for the tightest fit. The M badge comes off easily if you want a cleaner look.
Print it upside down to use less support material and save time. You get a custom part made to order, so your knob arrives ready to bolt on and drive.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
