Gear Knob for BMW 3 Series: Silicone
This gear knob for the BMW 3 Series is specified around silicone, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or warranty claims traced back to a single lot. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.

The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How is packing specified?

How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
