Ok guys I just got my really cool aluminum BMW M5 idrive knob from Garry at BMW of Newport (thanks Garry for the great price and service)...
Now, how do I get the old one off? Just pull? Pry a little with a screw driver? I don't want to scratch up my trim or god forbid break anything.
Anyone know the correct way to do this?
Thanks
