After seeing the 06' e60's I love the subtle differences in the interior. I love the additional wood and the climate control knobs.
Is it easy to change the knobs to the new one? Has anyone done it before?
Here's a picture I found on this site:

I'm not sure I'm getting this.
You want to change to extended AC's knobs? Do you have a pic of the "old" ones?
The "woods" can be changed, use Search for more info about that.
There's a shitty pic (cell cam 1.3 pix) of my cars interior, but note the "normal" AC's knobs.

I don't get it either. This what you say is 06 design I have in my 04 car ever since????
or are you just confused just by the difference in extended AC and regular AC???

I'm talking about the 3 climate control knobs.
Those two units are completely different. It is not just the knobs that makes it different ! The whole unit is different!
see below:
standart AC UNIT system knobs - regardless year of make. same for 2003-2006
Extended AC UNIT system knobs - regardless year of make. same for 2003-2006
