the two i-drive knobs are different. see the attached pictures. the new i-drive knob on the 5 series has a leather top i think. thats the only difference between the one pictured here and the actual newer knob on the 5 series. the M5 knob just looks cooler.
the cost for the M5 knob is $77, according to my dealer.

Part no. is 65827837807 from realoem.com. I have one on my 550 and it is nicer. Spun aluminum in a titanium anodized finish.

Finally, I ordered the control knob from Circle BMW in NJ and the total price was about $68 including shipping. The part was non-return nor refund because it was for M5 not 530i or 545i. I popped out the stock knob and pressed in the new knob, done. Stock knob is made of plastic and M5 knob is made of aluminum.
