Storm Motorwerks: Premium BMW Shift Knobs and Paddles
Chris McGuire August 05, 2025
It’s no exaggeration to say that Eventuri might not exist today if it weren’t for Storm Motorwerks. Founded in 2006 by Bilal, who would later become the head engineer and co-founder of Eventuri, Storm Motorwerks was where he first honed his talents in the BMW aftermarket. His advanced R&D and engineering skills took shape creating the distinctive, high-quality components that defined Storm and laid the groundwork for the award-winning intake brand we know today.
Right from the start, Bilal’s obsessive attention to detail set him apart. Storm Motorwerks’ weighted shift knobs, paddles, and e-brake handles are more than just OEM+ upgrades—they’re meticulously designed solutions where material quality and precision engineering speak for themselves. Every product is 100% designed and manufactured in the UK, and even after 19 years, they continue to sell strong, proving that great design and craftsmanship stand the test of time.
A perfect example is their E9X M3 paddles. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with real carbon fiber inserts, they offer one of the most premium feels on the market. Storm even incorporated self-powered amber illumination into the paddle +/- icons, perfectly matching the factory BMW dash lighting, no wiring required. It’s these kinds of innovations that make Storm Motorwerks a standout and a lasting favorite among BMW enthusiasts.
