Yes i have an 04 E60 also i've also since upgraded to an leather 08 Idrive knob. All you have to do is pull up on the sucker and it comes off. As for the install just pop it back on the way you removed it. Hope this helps

This is a must-do...that plastic thing my E60 came with is U G L Y. I found my leather (OEM) one on ebay for like 50 bucks! Kind of expensive but well worth it in the end. Very simple just pop off the old, line up the slots on the new and pop it in. Good luck!
