Looks like it has threath inside, so it's a screw on? In that case it'll fit a e21 and a 02, but also e12, e9 etc. Price? Whatever they give for it, it's not in that great a state.

yeah true but looks like its 25 yrs old but i think a little tlc and polish it will look good.

I just bought one for the e12. Screws straight on the getrag 265 shaft.
I think for most bmw manuals but seen old pics with an e12 530 mtu south african or something like with one,

value I paid £12 delivered to the door, origional varnish, no splits in wood and no cracks or scratches in plastic.
mine has a plastic insert ìn the back, looks like yours is missing.

new on ebay for £34

To me not worth the effort.

My thoughts exactly, not real rare.

My old pre-facelift e21 had one of these shift knobs. They do look nice polished up, but not sure that one is easily salvageable.

Sorry as the news may have been disappointing perhaps
