I would do a wood knob with this logo if you are able- I like the motorsports label but not so much on a shift knob: bmw-wooden-m-technic-5-speed-classic-gea

 

BMW still sells this specific emblem, made for E21.  Part number 25111220954, $20.71 list price. 

 

25 11 1 220 953 is the 4 speed version, with same M stripes ($18.44 list).  

 

The standard BMW roundel is part number 25 11 1 220 956.

PS: Did BMW ever use serif lettering (as in E) during the '02 production run?

BMW last used the serif font logo on the NK models, stopping in the mid-late 60s.

How about making them removable so you can change them.  If the "button" is easy enough to have made it would open up soooooo many options.  ;)

 

That is definitely an option. At first I was thinking they'd be glued in, but if the recess is tight enough, they could be pressure fit and swapped out. Still doesn't change the fact that making these logos is bloody expensive! :(

Find an online button pin maker and design the knob around it.  They make refrigerator magnet buttons that would "stick" to the top of your knob if you put a metal center insert.  Just a little redneck.  LOL  Then anyone with your knobs can make their own button without the hassle for you...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
