Has anyone installed the BMW Performance Part gear knob?
I have the knob but no instruction. Is it just a case of pulling off the M gear knob and putting these on, or are there clips and things. I am too afraid to pull it!

I installed the BMW SSK, and when removing the M knob, I found it was attached to the shift boot with some small metals tabs/clips. I unclipped the boot, then just pulled up on the knob - it came straight off along with the boot still attached to it. Then to re-install, I just installed the alcantara boot, and pushed on the performance knob - bobs your uncle.

Some say it's easier to put the knob into second gear and then pull straight up. Mine took a lot of force to remove. I almost hit the roof when it finally came off.

Does the standard silver/black toned knob just pull off as is?

The stock boot doesn't work with the weighted knob :| Unless you are supposed to break the retaining ring which allows it to mate with the original knob... !
