What is the origin of this shift knob (nt)

[ToddK]

Was this a factory knob or an aftermarket one.

[Devian]

This knob was designed in 1969 in Bavaria by Shiftineffen Gearschlammereffen. He was a local nutcase with money and a habit of driving his 2002 through Mercedes Benz showroom floors at high speed terrorizing anyone within sight of the inferior automobiles. He disappeared, along with his factory, in 1976 when 2002 production ceased. There have been rumors of him terrorizing Rover Dealerships in the UK with similar tactics within recent years...

Hope this helps

Actually the knob and the shift emblem were supplied separately. The is a knob for an E30 up to 1987 (25 11 1 220 823) and the shift pattern emblem for an M Technic (25 11 1 220 955) .

Thanks guys. I like the knob and I think I'll keep it in the race car. Funny thing is, for the first several months after I bought the car, I thought all the five speeds had this shift pattern. The CR box must be a little annoying to drive around with, but it really shines on the road course.
