BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement of the knob on BMW 5 Series

Before seeing the replacement of the knob, please note that it is good practice to disconnect the battery for safety reasons. Once this is done, let's start working on the gearbox: remove the headset from its seat, pulling it with your hands as shown in the video. Now, again by hand, also remove the base of the gear lever from its seat. This last step is necessary in order to later disconnect the gearbox connector. Once this is done, you are ready and safe to remove the knob: just pull it hard to reach the goal. Proceed backwards for assembly.
