As the title states I'm looking to purchase an Alpina emblem that will go on my shift knob. The plastic is cracked on mine. I'd rather not buy a whole new shift knob and the one I have now has separated from the plastic inside, so it should be easy to remove and replace provided I can find a replacement and then I can epoxy the whole thing back together.

Testdriver got my 6sp Alpina crest from Germany, perhaps you can ask him. If not, I do see those knobs on ebay.co.uk and ebay.de on a pretty regular basis.

Thanks. Post up a link if you come across one please
![]() Hopefully shipping won't cost an arm and a leg, but I'm guessing it will make it not worthwhile. I shipped a small box (probably only about 6" square) to a friend in the UK and it cost $40 ![]() |

Alpina can replace that - it costs about 10 Euros (IIRC), but you have to send them the knob to repair.
And P.S. Alpina does no have any new knobs any more (wooden - for E36/E34 etc.) |

and another one here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-2002-E21-...item2a2a092314 You'll still need to negociate shipping out of Germany. Cheers

My shift knob looks a whole lot like yours (ie. the emblem is cracked all to hell). It seems that these shift knobs aren't replaceable anymore (at least according to KSK, I do have friends living in Europe if anybody has a source over there to suggest?).
I can restore/refinish the wood just fine, but I need a new (plexiglass?) emblem. Did you manage to get yours fixed? If so, where/how? I also noticed the post about sending it to Alpina for repair... should I contact them directly (ie. through their German site)? Or do I have do go through KSK since I'm in North America? |

Nope, I haven't got it fixed, so it still looks like crap. I've got a number of other things that need priority over this one now.
I didn't know that they weren't making them anymore, but I noticed that the replacement ones have a different colour of wood anyway which sort of defeats the whole point of replacing it IMO. This is why I want to just replace the emblem on the top. |

I am a nubie here. i do not have an Alpina, but have an either new, or very close to new gear shift knob and figure it might be good for one of you guys. I can't tell the difference. I am posting two pictures. Anything that looks like a blem is flash reflection as I have the knob in my hand and it is immaculate. I see them going for $150 and more on German Ebay. I will take $140 shipped in the USA for this
