Looks like the member pup73 has the shift knob and alcantara book I am describing. Hope he can confirm the part number.

Sorry for the late reply...

So..that is a pic of my knob (HA!), but being an early adopter and impatient, I switched it out before realizing that there was an MP parts listed available. What I ended up doing is buying the MP knob AND boot (because they are attached), for the F-series. It is the same knob, but the boot stitching is white. I then separated the knob from the boot, attached the new MP knob to my original boot (blue stitching). Easy job.

But after the fact, I called my local BMW dealer, gave them the part number, and they said they could order it. They said it would take several weeks (around 3), since they don't keep it in stock and it would be coming from Germany.

So if I were you, I'd call some local dealers and give them the part number. Now, to answer your question, I cannot ABSOLUTELY confirm that the MP boot specific for the ///M2 has blue stitching, but given the fact that the MP boot for a 2 series has white stitching, it's a safe bet that the M2 MP boot would have blue???

Hope this helps.
