Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this shift knob involves a pull-release mechanism consistent with BMW interior standards. Users should ensure the parking brake is engaged and the transmission is in Neutral (if applicable) before beginning. To install, firmly grasp the old knob and pull upward sharply; avoid twisting to prevent damage to the linkage. The new knob should be aligned with the shaft notch and pressed firmly down until a tactile 'click' is felt. For care, clean the surface using a damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical degreasers or solvent-based cleaners that may degrade the synthetic finish.
