Do you want to replace the shift knob on your BMW Z Series? Here’s how to proceed with the replacement: First, take the knob and position it vertically. Then, remove the small screw with the appropriate wrench.

Remove it from the shift lever and use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather boot frame (if replacing). To install: mount the new leather boot with the clips (if removed), then take the new knob and slide it onto the lever in the center console until you tighten it with the screw.

Finally, test the movement of the lever in the center console to ensure the knob is properly installed.
