Storm Motorwerks V2 Weighted Stainless Steel Gear/Shift Knob - Shorter Throw OEM Style - Fits BMW E36 E46 E90 E92 E93 M3, E39 M5, Z3, Z4 (5/6 Speed)

Transform the way your BMW manual feels with the Storm Motorwerks V2 stainless shifter. Precision cut from solid billet stainless, this heavyweight selector is inspired by the iconic E30 M3 profile and trimmed in a shorter overall height for a quicker, cleaner gear change while keeping a tasteful factory look. Perfect for drivers who want a premium OEM plus upgrade that makes every shift feel tighter, smoother and more mechanical.

What makes it a must-have upgrade

• Heavy mass construction - adds momentum through the gate for silkier engagement and reduced notchiness
• Lower profile - the reduced height delivers a shorter throw feel for snappier upshifts and decisive downshifts
• OEM plus styling - looks stock to the untrained eye yet feels unmistakably performance focused
• Built to last - stainless steel body with premium finishing options to suit your interior

Feel the difference

Weighing just over 450 g, the V2 adds the ideal amount of shift weight. That extra inertia smooths out the typical BMW manual gearbox resistance and helps the lever slot home with a reassuring, solid click. The improvement over a standard plastic-topped knob is immediate from the very first gear change.

Driver-focused design

Modelled on the classic BMW silhouette and trimmed to be almost an inch shorter, the V2 places your hand closer to the selector pivot for a sportier, more connected feel. The ergonomic shape is comfortable on long trips yet precise when pressing on, whether you daily your car or enjoy spirited B-road and track day driving.

Finishes and top cap options

• Finish choices: Brushed stainless or titanium plated for a deep gunmetal grey tone
• Shift pattern inserts: OEM style 5-speed or 6-speed layout
