Does anyone have an original beige 5 speed manual shift knob they'd be willing to part with that's in decent condition? Or any recommendations on where I could try and track one down? I have an 03 E85 2.5i in Maldives Blue with Beige interior and have had a hard time trying to track down a new (or gently used) 5 speed gear knob in the same interior color.

Pictured below for reference.



Thanks!

I was able to dig up the part number at least, PN 25117526991 Beige. Unfortunately my quick search yielded nothing immediately available for purchase

Unfortunately that's likely an extremely unattainable part. The part was replaced by a black knob in the facelift. A used one, if one ever comes up for sale, is likely too worn out to be desirable.

Depending on what you have now (or if you can get a used black knob), you can always turn to Redline Goods or Coby Wheel. You can email Coby and ask if they can do beige leather instead of beige Alcantara. Coby will do it all for you - whereas Redline Goods will ship you the prefabricated leather and you do the glueing and stitching yourself. I've personally dealt with both (Coby for my F10 steering wheel, and Redline Goods for my E85 parking brake leather boot). Both are great (and no they don't sponsor me ).

I would suggest looking at Copart, Pull-a-Part, and other junkyard/salvage services and operations to see if you can find an old Z4 near you that’s being parted out. Probably your best luck.
