I\'ve got a B&M fitted in my car,its a quality bit of kit:InLove I don\'t think it makes a difference in useability which gear knob you fit.The standard one will work just fine i\'m sure.Surely it\'ll depend on personnal preference? I fitted a carbon MazdaSpeed gear knob,sorry got no pics..

i fitted a heavy weight trust knob (the sperical one) they were right in that it is heavier but it sits lower on the shifter and so in effect takes another 1/2-1" of the length. so the net effect is that it is harder to shift with. it got removed after about 2 weeks, would stick with the standard shifter tbh!
