Your shift knob is an eseential part of your BMW vehicle’s transmission. Also called a gear shift, shifter, or stick, it provides a better grip than a bare gear lever does. If your car or SAV is equipped with an automatic transmission, you only need to move the shift knob from Park to either Reverse or Drive to begin moving, as gear shifts are controlled by the transmission.

A manual transmission requires your full involvement, though. You respond to the engine’s RPMs by changing gears. Uusually, the gear pattern is usually noted on the top of the shifter.

Shift knobs come in all types of materials, from basic plastic to metal, carbon fiber, and even leather-wrapped. Shapes and sizes vary greatly, as do the graphics on top of the shifter. While that may seem like a lot to consider, it does give you plenty of options for customization. However, there’s one thing you need to remember when shopping for your new gear shift. That’s to get the right type for your transmission. Shift knobs for an automatic transmissions tighten onto the shift rod with two small screws, while those designed for manual transmissions thread onto the stem.
