Is anyone planning to combine this knob with the IND M3 tri-color boot?
That's what I wanted to do, but the leather boot seems to be well-glued to the base of the new F10 M5 knob.

I just installed this scenario yesterday. It is well glued but it will eventually break free. Take your time so you don't end up damaging the knob.

Hi. Can we see pics of your install?
What was your technique for separating the F10 boot from the knob? It would be nice if the F10 knob was recessed on the bottom (under the trim ring) to conceal the mating to the IND boot. If possible, can you provide a close-up pic of the knob/boot transition?

Question, I see that the instructions to remove the stock shift knob is to just pull it up? So are there no threads on the shifter? What is the thread pattern (if there is one).
If there are no threads does that mean you can only replace the stock with with different OEM BMW knobs? I prefer the solid SS or Ti type knobs. Thanks |

If you use the zip tie method, this is a link to the low profile cobra ties. They won't bump out like a traditional zip tie. The 7" should be more than enough to wrap around the ring.

For those that installed the F10 M5 shift knob, can you describe how it feels compared to the stock M3 shift knob? Does it help with shifting (especially 1->2)? Do you find it too low? Does anything get in the way?
Thanks guys! |

It's the same as the ZHP weighted shift knob but with a light. The added weight helps smooth out the clunkiness of the 1-2 shift but it doesn't remove it completely.
