BMW E-Series Crystal Automatic Gear Shift Knob – E81 E87 E88 E46 E90 E91 E92 E60 E84 E89

Crystal Automatic Gear Selector Upgrade for BMW E-Series

Refresh the center console with a crystal-style automatic gear selector designed for compatible BMW E-Series vehicles. The transparent faceted housing gives the cabin a modern premium look while preserving the familiar BMW selector shape and everyday shift functions.

Materials & Finish

The selector uses a clear crystal-look outer shell over a dark internal control body, with precision-molded surfaces that catch ambient light from different angles. The lower mounting section is shaped for the corresponding BMW automatic shifter base, while illuminated versions integrate internal logo lighting for a more distinctive nighttime interior appearance.

Fitment

Designed for compatible BMW applications including E81, E87, E88, E46, E90, E91, E92, E60, E84 and E89. Confirm the original automatic selector shape, connector and shift mechanism before ordering.

Style Options

• M Tri-Color Logo – Non-Illuminated – crystal selector with M tri-color visual detail.
• White M Logo – Illuminated – internal white illuminated M-style logo.
• 3-Letter M Logo – Illuminated – illuminated three-letter M-style design.

What It Changes

The upgrade focuses on visual and tactile presentation: the clear faceted shell gives the center console a more contemporary luxury feel while illuminated versions create a subtle cabin light effect at night.

How to Replace

1. Switch off the vehicle and disconnect battery power where required by the selector electronics.
2. Remove the original gear selector trim carefully using non-marring interior tools.
3. Release the original selector from its mounting point and disconnect the electrical plug.
4. Compare the connector and mounting interface with the replacement selector.
5. Install the crystal selector into the factory position and reconnect the wiring.
6. Reinstall the surrounding trim and test P/R/N/D selection, manual mode and selector illumination where equipped.
