WTB: E90 M3 shift boot ring 6MT or entire knob/boot/ring combo

Fastalpine · 06-02-2020, 11:40 AM

Looking to buy a shift boot plastic ring for an E90 M3. Mine cracked and will not stay locked in anymore.

I will buy a whole shift knob/boot/ring setup as well if needed.

There is someone on eBay selling 3D printed ones. A bit pricey ($50 I believe), but it is an option if you can't find an OEM one.

Oh nice! I found it and ordered. $50 is pricey but no real other option unless someone is parting an E9x out and usually then people ask $100 for the boot/knob/trim

Additionally, there is a forum member selling the ring "clips" I bought some and they are MUCH better than the stock ones. They glue on with JB Weld epoxy. You might be able to use that glue to fix your cracked ring as well.

Must have raised the price....I just got one for $30 just 2-3 weeks ago. Or there is a very similar seller on eBay with the same item.

That said, based on my experience and others the clips are done very poorly, in fact one of the clips that holds the ring down was broken right out of the package.
