New Brabus Shift Knob
Saw this listed for the GLK X204. Since it is built on the W204 platform and the interior is almost identical, this should fit. Resembles the shape of the shifter on the Black Series.
What do you think?
Updated: Found it on the Brabus website listed under the W204. Brabus calls it the Race Shifter. No price listed.

Looks a little too awkward for my tastes...IMHO I prefer the one that AZN has in his whip.

I didn't realize Brabus had 3 different versions now.
Elegance (Leather/Aluminum), Sport (Alcantara//Aluminum) and Race

I'm not sure.
It looks like the head of a golf club.

Still prefer the old one....it's ribbed....for her pleasure.....




Plus looks like that shifter is plastic, while the old one feels like cast aluminum.

Aside: What car is that fitted on? It has too many buttons right near the gear stick!

All Brabus parts in North America come from CEC (Claus Ettensberger Corp, 949.797.0177) in Irvine, CA. They're the sole authorized distributor of Brabus parts in North America. And the install takes all of maybe 5-10 minutes. Easy.

white and whiter
The style azn_300 posted started out as the R171 shift-knob as that was what they put it on at first.

same part # later replaced with a leather top instead of the alcantara pictured. The alcantara one is still the best.

the new shift-knob in the first post is hideous, sorry. The new E63 has something similar too

The alcantara one is better, but the leather one matches better with my leather boot and since I don't have any other alcantara accents.
