Just out of curiosity, how do you swap iDrive knobs? I'd like to get the M5 version.
Thanks,

To install the new one just push down...
Nothing could be simpler!

HAHAHA - no way I was going to do that unless someone here says that they've done it. Cause I know it's a $100 to fix anything I brake on the car.
Thanks... pinging Garry at Newport now.
