Transform the look of your E36 center console with our sleek, manual-style shift boot designed specifically for BMW enthusiasts who love a clean, OEM+ interior.

INSTALL NOTES:

1. This conversion is designed for customers who want a manual-style shift boot while retaining factory LED shift functions (Sport/Manual mode).
2. Remove the entire factory shift panel from the center console to access the backside.
3. On the rear of the panel, remove the two small screws holding the factory LED shift indicator panel in place.
4. Keep the LED panel plugged into the original connector and carefully tuck it off to the side inside the console so the wiring is not pinched or pulled tight.
5. Install the manual shift boot in place of the original trim panel, ensuring it sits flat and does not interfere with the shifter movement.
6. Double-check that all gears and sport/manual mode engage smoothly before final reassembly.
