1) M3 DCT knob part # 25122283705 (Switch, Throttle Valve)
2) The M3 knob has a 10 pin connector
3) Pin assignments for "blue" connector (from R -> L)
1 - +12v
2 - Night Illimunation +12V
3 - Ground
4 - EGS MGE
5 - N/A (not needed for mod)
6 - EGS MGA

4) Pin assignments for "white" connector (from L -> R)
1 - Not Used
2 - Park (not needed for mod)
3 - Reverse
4 - Neutral
5 - Drive (I connected to the D/S led on mine)

I don't have the pin assignments on the M3 knob since I removed the connector, but they are very easy to figure out with a 12 volt power source.

I used 2 of the Universal Pin Terminal Uncoded (Part # 61136913635) and 8 of the Pin Contacts (Part # 611300005198) in my install completely eliminating the Blue PRND indicator.

M3 Knob_____________Connector______Pin
+12V...............................Blue........... .....1
Illumination......................Blue............ ....2
Illum Ground....................Blue................3
R....................................White........ ......3
N....................................White........ ......4
D/S.................................White........... ...5
"+"..................................Blue......... ......4 & 6
"-"...................................Blue.......... .....4 & 6
M/S (center between +/-)...Blue...............4 & 6

i got it work like a charm on my pre lci, just swap blue 1 & 5 assignment. i hv a question, my (+) & (-) lights are keep switch on, is it normal?

pin 2-3 are illum +/-
pin 4 is M/S
pin 5 is +12v

I'll give it a try

laurentProd，

Please give me a hand

[JStang]

I have the M5 knob and one of the plastic tabs on the inside broke. Does anyone know if this can be replaced?

Other than the boot, is the M3 DCT knob the same as the M5 SMG knob?

[Daz330cd]

I so want to do this mod too into my 2009 E93 .

[Underground6t9]

Looks good but just seems like too much work/money for a knob.

[djalex-p]

This is awesome!

[ayooo_itzme]

Having a problem . Don't have a spot to insert the green connectors (power connectors are missing) . If this thread is anywhere alive , did anyone solve this ?

[jarvis]

does anyone know where to get M3 DCT knob trim replacement OEM or CF? new or pre-owned? Can't find it anywhere anymore. Thanks.

[tryingtobebest]

Im sorry for an old thread bump, but im going nuts here....
Can anyone who have this post a picture of how they modified the leather of the M3/M5 shifter, because it seems to me that from the factory shifter has boot and knob covered with one single (Uncut) leather piece!

Hows transaction made for knob to work with "our" E90/92 shift boot

The only few pics that i could of find they don't explain how its made - FS: BMW E90/E92 M5 SMG Knob Retrofit kit with Performance Shift Boot
Last picture is blurry

Anyone had a issue with the night illumination not working for the shifter. I have r-n-d/s modes that are selected properly even when when the car is shut off I get the night illumination but only when the car is off I’ve tried taking the 12v from the cigarette plug position and the blue plug. Everything else works properly just can’t get it to illuminate when I have headlight on.
