I got my LCI iDrive knob for US$60.
Old one popped off, new one popped on. Never looking back at that plastic piece of crap.

Did you just pull it out by force? Need any tools?
Almost hit my head pretty hard. No tools required.

In the States anyway, the '04, '05, and early '06 knobs were satin metal in color, then in late '06 and '07, they changed to the leather-topped one. The '08 LCI knob is actually topped with rubber. It may be different in the UK.
