get the ones that light up, the M techinc look nice, easy hook up and they look great, and price arround $80. EBAY.

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.

Bought BMW black leather.....still looks new after 50k miles of shifting....hard shifting.

Its not so much that it looks bad, it has just lost some of its grip on the shifter itself. I find that if I need to do a hard grab for a gear the damn knob come off the shifter. It sucks when you reached for 2n'd to get the knob
I wonder if its possible to use some type of set screw or alternate means of adhesion.
