Was it easy to install?
pretty easy.

pop off your center console (it snaps off)

disconnect wires

unscrew the 2 switches

snip/ grind 2 plastic tabs

pop out trim ring and remove old boot

place in new boot and do the reverse


I got my instructions from ricks website under installations i believe.

1.5/10 on difficulty

Nah, I have charcoal alcantara shift & e-brake boots in my M3. They look brand new after 4+ years. Only cleanup required is a light vacuum.
Charcoal, huh? Sounds like it might be equal to black in that it doesn't get dirty.

Congrats.. Always fun to upgrade.

I've never been into suede or alcantara and alcantara is not actually leather that has been sueded. I assume thats part of the savings in the price. Alcantara is manufatured textile fabric instead of being made from animal hide. The Ricks boot I was looking at getting with contrasting stitch in leather is also only $40. Alcantara is a better choice then suede for durability but, I like leather over both.

Happy New Year everyone!

How about a 25% discount to the first person that responds with interest to a shift boot
