Are you talking about the 'vertical' style as used with the steptronic?

Bmw used to sell kit that consisted of all the pieces that you need to change. Here's link to one of the e32 pages that George posted on. If you search there you'll find more info (http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e32/4959627-1.html)

took a couple of hours to change. You can purchase parts from BMA.

Hmm, that is kinda cool. I think. Is it?

Any way to get the full surround with the leather gaiter, as on the E39? Without the gaiter I think it looks out of place.
