In my M3 the shift nob was lit up to show a nice red color "M", I was wondering if anyone is working on a similar concept for the MCS. Everyone loved the way it looked on the M3 and I think it would be a great addition to the MCS. A nice lit up "S" in the same color as the interior lights would look great in my opinion.

A heated one would be better.

Yeah tip, any electrical current available in my gear knob would be preferred converted to heat. Brrr.
That's the price for being on the colder side of the arctic circle i guess...
A red hot glowing "S" on the knob would be perfect!
Regards,
Tore

I think a lighted one would look slick, does anyone know where to get one?

I think it would look great too. But, mine would have to read MC. Curious to see a pic.

Not quite what you guys were talking about, but it is unique (but not to my taste):

Actually, I was just looking for the

R135
246

to light up. (of course with the lines in between the numbers lit up too)

Does anyone have a picture of a lighted knob in MINI?

pkrehbiel · Apr 4th, 2003, 05:24 AM

UUC Motorwerks makes a lighted RK3 Shift knob for BMW's that should have the right color illumination and correct 5 or 6 speed shift pattern's for the MINI.

The color is right, but the BMW and MINI knobs are not interchangeable... but we are looking at doing a MINI fitment if there is enough interest.

Paul · Apr 4th, 2003, 06:27 AM

I like the RK2 style a bit more than the RK3 (I think), but I think a light-up shift pattern is a really smart idea. Looks cool.

pkrehbiel · Apr 4th, 2003, 08:14 AM

Rob,
Could your lighted RK3 be fitted to your MINI short shift kit?

Paul · Apr 4th, 2003, 08:18 AM

Also, how is it powered?

timcuculic · Apr 8th, 2003, 10:49 AM

I have been looking all over for a lit shift knob and the RK3 looks awesome. Is anyone out there interested in a group buy?

Be a good idea if/when they make one to fit the MINI.

JTL · Apr 8th, 2003, 09:39 PM

Id probably be interested in it, would definately be interested in a lit 'S' one though

TheBlackKnight · Apr 8th, 2003, 10:04 PM

Depending on the styling, yes I would be interested in scoring one of these!
