[QUOTE="wobbles, post: 565040, member: 24637"] OK, more poison for myself, seeing how it's still in the month of December, which means another slow, long, torturous quarter of a year more to go before my baby comes home... My [b][SIZE="4"]DREAM[/SIZE][/b] mods of the F13 (it will probably NEVER happen, because the Home Minister will veto all attempts): [B][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]1. M sport gear knob.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff381/xizf4rkzles/Gearbox.jpg[/IMG] This will go quite nicely with the M-sport Steering Wheel: [IMG]http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff381/xizf4rkzles/Mwheel.jpg[/IMG] And the M-motif Dead Pedal: [IMG]http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff381/xizf4rkzles/Mpedal.jpg[/IMG] Because the M-adorned interior is missing the M gear knob! See that sore thumb of a normal "Steptronic Sports Transmission" Gear knob? Cannot, cannot... Cannot make it! hehehe...

I don't know if such a kit would be available, or whether it would even fit the standard width/track of the basic 640i - but, if ever there were an oppportunity, that's a big item on my "to do list"!
