Surprised there is no mention of this on this forum or other bimmer forums: the two teets that are next to each other on the bottom of the ///M shift knob must be broken off in order to separate the knob from its boot. Otherwise, the knob will not remove. It has to do with the bottom of the teets, which is much larger than the holes it must be disconnected through. This may apply only to later productions as I have a May build and it appears BMW has modified these two teets since this DIY.
