I think the z3 shifter does fit the e36 M3 but someone else can confirm better than I can as I haven't done it yet.Originally Posted by Remote
The illuminated clubsport knob doesn't have the correct shift pattern symbol on it so this bumps the price up quite a bit if you want it to look right.
I put a US F10 M5 manual weighted knob into the m3 as it was a whole lot cheaper than the clubsport knob and it has the correct top on it. It is exactly the same size and almost the same weight. I bought it from leatherz.com in the US who put on the pre 2001 block connector and removed the F10 leather gaitor for me.
