Thanks.

It's a original BMW shift knob so the height didn't change at all.

No, the wiring was not already in place. But if you look at the picture you can see the wiring that came with the knob. You just plug it between the interior light dimmer (beside the headlight switch) and the wire that goes into it. Then run the cable inside the dash to the shifter.

Not sure if that includes the wiring though..
But there are always a few of these on ebay, look around..
