The BMW X5 F15, a stalwart of performance and versatility in the luxury SUV segment, has long been celebrated for its dynamic engineering and refined cabin—except for one glaring anachronism: its utilitarian plastic gear lever.
While the F15 model (2013-2018) dazzles with its TwinPower Turbo engines and premium leather finishes, the dated shifter design clashes with its sophisticated ethos. Enter the BMW Crystal Shifter—an upgrade that bridges the gap between functional hardware and automotive elegance. Below, we unveil how this Swarovski-inspired marvel revitalizes the F15’s cockpit, pairing BMW’s heritage with modern opulence.
Crystal Shifter Upgrade Advantages
The leap from the original ABS plastic to engineered crystal glass with metal plating delivers transformative benefits. While the factory shifter degrades over time with visible scratches and UV-induced fading, the upgraded crystal variant resists wear through diamond-grade hardening.
Installation Note
Please remove the entire gear knob module and install the crystal gear knob outside the car. This can perfectly avoid short circuits during installation.
