Talking AWESOME Black Birdseye W204 OEM Shift Knob on eBay (See Hi-Res Pics Inside!!)

Part #A207 257 2010

Can someone tell me how I order this thing? I have the part #, just don't know which website to use to look it up and order. I tried getmercedesparts.com but it didn't show up, and I can't read German so I can't order it on Ebay

I like the way it looks way better than the aftermarket knobs and I also like the way it looks better than the C63 leather knobs and it matched my interior wood trim, and stays with an OEM part

ya, I love how its all solid wood and not half aluminum like the C63 ones...

I also like the metal stripe in the middle

If you like all leather instead of all wood (not half leather like the c63), they have this one too:



Or this one with the alcantra boot if you have an alcantra wheel you wanna match:

Bump

Anybody know the best way to order this or does anybody have this? For some reason I can't remember seing these knobs on anybody's w204 in this forum... which makes me think there must be a good reason?

Ah sweet man, ya post some pics when you receive it... how much was the total in US dollars?

I like the all leather MUCH better than the C63 half leather one that is the same style...

Why the hell we dont get those in the US is a mystery to me...

I kind of stole the bid at the last min and lucky I got it. The only thing was the shipping, it was 35 euro and I still didn't get it yet!

I think the one I got is the 2012 luxury version so we do have these in the US.

-pop shift boot out by pressing in on one of the edges and slightly lifting up
- flip shift boot inside out
- take down plastic collar on rod by turning an 1/8 turn and wiggling downwards
- lift off knob and boot by pulling upwards

It's a smooth leather material. It's very high quality given that it's an oem MB part. Definitely looks like it's going to hold up over the long run. This is much better than the original fake aluminum knob IMHO.
