Dunno, never had the desire to fist the thing back like that.
BTW, like your forum label. Heh.

Sure as shit, it does push in. Takes a stronger push than you'd feel comfortable about.
Give a twist and all still works. I can't fit my fingers in to pull the damn thing out though. That's a task for a rag and pliers tomorrow. |

It’s not supposed to as far as I know. I had one replaced under warranty for this reason.

Found a pic off E90 that explains more, 2 things actually.
That bump on the back cover, that must be where the switcher rod moves to when you push it in. No other reason I can see for that bump. |

On the E84 (X1), the switch is in a position where it easily catches your knee as you exit the car. It is actually a design feature to reduce the chance of injury during a crash or any other contact.
You can pull it back out if your fingers are small enough but I usually just leave it recessed. |

How long until someone does this because of the thread and it breaks? Or is that not possible.

Anything is possible. But as juld says, it's designed to push in. I wouldn't say everyone should go and try it.
It's just a PSA that if it should happen the switch is not broken. I'm just going to leave mine in to be different. |
