Do you want to replace the shift knob on your BMW 3 Series? Let's see how to proceed: use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather boot frame, take the knob in your hands and twist it left and right until it comes off the shift lever (apply upward pressure).

Remove the boot with the plastic frame if you want to connect the lighting to the knob.

To install: take the new knob and slide it onto the shaft in the center console, and install the new leather boot with the clips. Finally, test the movement of the shaft in the center console to ensure the knob is properly installed.
