Default New non-BMW shift boot...

Hello everyone.

I am a pretty strict genuine BMW parts guy only, but I have a problem.

My original shifter boot (black leather with red stitching) is a bit dry and 'stretched tight' in places and I wanted to get a new one. (I will consider a MINT used one if you have one...)

Checking realOEM I see it has been discontinued (but other color stitcing is still available iif you were interested).

Anyway, I started looking around and found a seller on ebay (topgaiters) in the UK with what appear to be decent quality leather boots, with more-or-less the same style as the original one.

Has anyone had any experience with this seller to comment on fit, finish and quality?

It has two red-stiched seams in the rear instead of one, but looks pretty decent in the pictures.

Any insight appreciated!
