    I think the final 100 (the Fiorano series) came with a carbon fiber shift knob. On 355's, I haven't seen any other variations from the standard metal ball.

    Fiorano edition had an optional carbon knob. Otherwise, all were aluminum.

    Might have been replaced due to aluminum knob can get really hot during summer season.

    How much are those things. It doesn't show a price. Or is that because they can't be found anymore.

    Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I start to wonder when I see little details that don't really add up to a given description....I will probably have more questions down the road and I really do appreciate the help.
