I was describing this knob I saw at my dealer's to my husband, and this morning when I went to work, there it was. He's a great guy.

Our dealer had them. My mini is cool blue with a black top. Cool blue is a strange color; it can be bright blue to a very dull blue depending on the light it is in, an ever-changing color.

Paul, I recently switched from a PC to a Mac, so things are a little quirky. I guess I'm what's quirky until I get over the learning curve.

Don't use Internet Explorer.
Safari or Firefox work much better on MINI2.
There's a lot of Mac users here so lots of help is at your fingertips.

Thanks obehave, I'm on Safari, and I really appreciate the offer of help.

IrishCooper · Mar 26th, 2005, 05:48 PM

Yes i am a big Mac guy and i use Safari. Anyway yeah thats a new option is body colored shift knobs. I dont know what all colors they are available in yet, but not all are available yet. I know Cool Blue, Hyper Blue, Chili Red, Silver, Black, and i think a few others are currently available.

jean-ji, how does this knob feel, compared to the original?

I like the feel better, but it's hard to say why, maybe a bit more solid feeling, not being wrapped in leather/ette.

I thought that might be the case... I'm giving the original shifter knob a few weeks to see if it's really bothersome. I don't like the way it looks, so the colored bottom half might be what I end up with. Anyone know if Liquid Yellow is available yet?

jean-ji · Mar 26th, 2005, 11:29 PM

I didn't find the old knob bothersome at all. I really just liked the matching color. It feels different, but it's the difference between hard and soft, that's all.

ncdave · Mar 26th, 2005, 11:55 PM

I want a silk green one!

jean-ji · Mar 27th, 2005, 12:01 AM

My 02 was silk green, I love that color!
