Just finished this install and easier than I thought. Swapped the rings and tucked. No glue.

Couple of tips:

*Use a lighter to heat the leather makes it easier to separate (used a flat head small screwdriver). Leather does not burn so no damage done to it. As already noted the OEM M3 takes longer than the m5 to separate the ring.

*Cut out enough for the tab to go in cleanly. When reinstalling, place a cloth over the ring then pound it in

*I would not glue due to all the small adjustments needed to make the m5 shift boot look clean.

All together 40 minutes while watching football. Happy with the results
