I don't understand what this is really selling you. So many parts in the pics. Why do you think it would fit our cars? I also believe the boot and arm rest are one piece. This is why leatherz never made a replacement in alcantara (they just make a raised arm rest, no e-brake boot replacement). Check realoem, I'm pretty sure it's one big expensive piece.

Or are you only expecting the handle cover? That's crazy expensive for no boot.

I am trying to figure that out as well, I have a buddy with connections to germany and a german bmw etka, so I will see what he can find, it surely can not be just a leather cover can it? if it is, and I can find a part number, I am sure I can get it direct from germany for way cheaper.

I was hoping for a boot in either leather or alcantara the tri colour stitching as well.

The boot is a separate piece.
I have had mine off when I did my gauges.
There is a zip tie that holds it in place at the handle on the underside.

The issue is getting to it.
You have dismantle the centre console, which is a real PITA.

Interesting. I was going off realoem, part 4 in this diagram http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...31&hg=51&fg=35 which shows it as a single piece. I might have to ask LeatherZ, then. I've wanted to swap to Alcantara on the shift boot, but only if the e-brake boot could be made to match. I always assumed LeartherZ didn't make it because it was a single piece.
