Replacing the Shift Knob on a BMW

Model: BMW Serie 5 G30 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Shift knob

Using a small plastic lever, detach the upper plastic part of the shift knob, the one with the gear patterns. At this point, remove the two small screws you uncovered. Still using the same plastic wedge, now remove the main part of the shift knob and unscrew the other screws located underneath it. Once all screws are removed, you can finally detach the shift knob by pulling it while rotating it slightly in both directions to ease its removal from the socket. To install the new shift knob you purchased, simply reverse the process. Good luck!
