Great pictures.
The part # is 25 11 8 036 628 right? How hard is it to remove the old one? How do you remove the old one? Just pull straight up? Will get it loose after a while?

So the whole thing pulls out. Leather and all? Do you have a pick of it after you removed the old and before you installed the new?
Also is that wood trim on your E-Brake? Is that a Euro option or aftermarket? -Croaker

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing in regards to waiting and hearing about it from the forum. The M Shifter does look great. What kind of tools are involved w/the process?

Yes! It's only $30 something dollars, I'll post pics after I install mine.

so if you're just looking for slightly shorter throws... then this is the way to go... a lot less work than changing the angle of your shift knob (that's what those short shift kits do for you). |

hi rybmw,
The M e90 shift knob is extremely easy to install. just did it myself 2 months ago. The stock 6 sp manual knob comes in 2 parts, knob and boot. The m knob includes the boot in one assembly Installation takes less than 5 min. below is a step by step approach to DIY. there are 6 steps. 1st - put the manual gear knob in 2nd gear 2nd- yank the knob out in one quick move/motion- need a firm grip. ***there is no need to rotate the knob or unscrew the original knob.** 3rd- once the stock knob is out, peel off the leather boot from the console. there are some catches at the base holding the boot- should come out easily. 4th take the m knob and turn the leather boot inside out to expose the inside / hollow canal of the knob. 5th push the knob ( align the knob in standard H gate position) firmly on metal rod stick. should snap into place). 6th - turn the leather boot back into inside in posiiton and snap on the base of the catches onto the console! you have done it!! congrats, i am sure you will have many hours of shifting fun with this ergonomically designed short shifter!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
