After I turn it off and pull it back I can't find way to put it back inside. Lights work properly.
Knob is alive?

It's a safety thing. Push in for safety (keep knees from hitting it). Mine works in or out; can continue to select left or right in either mode.

i wondered this actually.
i took the car in for a service and pre service the thing was pushed in...when i got it back it was popped out which totally fazed me for a minute. i couldnt remember whether i had imagined it stuck in or not. so i used some ingenuity (read:brute force) and pushed it back in. then thought 'why do i have it in. its easy to grab with gloves when its out.
i then thought ' i should check on e60.net whether im breaking the car by doing this'
then forgot

The push-in knob is an extra cost option in most markets. Believe it is standard on UK spec models though

I accidentally hit the light swicth with my head one day, and within a split second I pulled it back out. When It happen I was like oh shit I broke it, but when I pulled it back out and realize that it was still working, I said...oh well. I often wondered if it was made to go in and out, but I was too enbarrased to read the manual or ask the dealer....lol
