Yet another BMW shift knob has lost its little plastic retainers, so it comes off way to easy now. Without spending $100 on a new knob what works good out there ? Any suggestions ?

I've got the bavauto wood one, anatomicanationally fit and all that... very nice and all, but it doesn't match the mahogany (?) interior. The grain is ok, but the color is way too red.
Before that I had a momo- and I hated it. Stupid design, kept getting loose, etc. I liked the retainer idea, how it bolts in, but it wasn't implemented well, and sat too high.
You could go with the ricey aluminum/chrome ones, but they look tacky.
I'm probably just going to go back to the oem leather one. The only other choice is the light-up mtech one, but it probably has the same problem as your old ones, with the clips.
