Just did this today so I can answer some of these.
AT is identical. The shifter knob pulls off pretty easily. Bentley Service Manual states up to 90lbs of force may be necessary, but don't use a "steady" pull. It's more like one quick solid jerk (that's what she said, sorry). Comes off pretty easily. I'm a girl and I did it in 2 tries
No, you don't need to unplug the battery.
I don't have a coupe but the Bentley Service Manual has detailed photos of e92 rear console removal. Looks like you take the rear seat cushions out, then footwell lights, and everything looks pretty self-explanatory from there.
OP, thanks for the awesome DIY
I wouldn't touch my trim w/ a screwdriver, so I got an interior trim tool from Harbor Freight. Quick and easy. Awesome writeup! Took me 30 minutes to do this (plus some extra time getting the center vents and ashtray lid off. Those were kind of a PITA).
I found lots of interesting German stickers under my trim pieces, lol.
