Hi all, I am wondering if anyone here with M6 gt has the metal ball shifter?

I like it so far except when the car sits outside in cold/hot weather, the shifter become untouchable.

and I have not yet see another 2011 gt with that shifter. is this some sort of special deal?

I have the metal ball shifter. Although yes it does get cold (and I'm sure hot in the summer) I'm really enjoying it.

It's got a real nice solid feel to it. Feels like you can bang on it as much as you want without fear of damage to the shifter.

is it a different shifter or just the ball is different than other stock car?

I'm positive it's just the ball.

I mean literally you'd have to be doing something wrong to break the regular shifter, but the metal ball just adds that feeling of strength to the system.

I really enjoy the feeling that it transfers through the ball. You can feel the gates quite well.

It comes with the 401A interior option (cars with the seat stripe). So far I like it too except for the hot/cold issue.
