I do like the lighted BMW M shifters, which show the pattern and the M, but I'm certainly not sold on this.

I'm with Patrick on this. Hell yeh, I think it looks cool, but practicality-wise? None. I can't look down at the shift knob to figure out what gear I'm in. If I have to look down then I might as well already be upside down in a ditch. I don't think I've missed a shift in over two years. (I got my full license when I was 17, been driving since I was 16)
