    got to thinking I have the gear select indicator on the dash, why do I need one down by the shifter?
    True, we could make something that fits better for your phone charging scheme man.

    Still have a few angles and radiuses to tweak but I'm very close! Keep in mind the leather is slightly pulled off the original so its curves look exaggerated.

    Might be interested in one with gauge pods.

    Would this also fit RHD cars?

    I will pm you on gauge pod being made. I could use it for my build. May consider your caliper adapters too

    +1 on that.
    But looking at pics, I don't think it's a simple mirror image process either.
    I'm guessing you'd need something to copy first.

    As far as I can tell, the outline is a mirror image, but the shifter hole remains in the same place, slightly left of center. The boot would account for any small error in placement.

    are you going to make an auto verison with the hole for the s/m/a/winter selector?

    Yes I think you're right about the outline.
    Not so sure about the boot accounting for the hole offset if the whole thing was mirrored however.

    Well, this means I would have to return the brand new non-M surround I just got from BMW NA... But I'm interested (possibly for gauges as well)

    I just mean it doesn't have to be super precise. The hole still needs to be somewhere left of center.

    Another Aussie keen here.

    I'd say with the 3d printing, you might be able to just 'flip' the console dimensions to get it to suit us, then reposition the shifter hole.

    Shame I don't have my spare bmw anymore, I'd send you the rhd shifter surround if it helped

    Well it was pretty easy to flip in Paint.
    Much harder to do the real thing no doubt.

    Gated shifters on a non-wire shifting gearbox is a terrible idea. It would be awful to drive

    I assume we're talking about this.... Which anyone could quickly realize is impossible if you give the slightest thought to how far our shifters move and where they come to rest after shifting. You can't have separate gates when the stick doesn't barely moves more than its own width.

    A gated shifter would work on an E34 with completely shot shift linkage/bushings, with tiny gates
