Why choose the Storm Motorwerks V2 Gearknob

Weighted for precision
The Storm Motorwerks V2 weighs just over 450 g. That extra mass significantly reduces the typical notchiness of BMW manual transmissions, improving shift accuracy and delivering a satisfying, solid engagement. The transformation over the standard gear knob is immediate and addictive.
Size and shape
Modelled on the classic OEM E30 M3 gear knob shape, the V2 is almost an inch shorter. The reduced height helps achieve a shorter throw for faster, cleaner gear changes while maintaining a timeless OEM aesthetic that looks right at home in any BMW interior.
Finish and emblem options
- Finish: Brushed stainless steel or titanium plated for a dark gunmetal grey look
- Emblems: 5-speed OEM style or 6-speed OEM style
