How to replace a BMW Z3 E39 5 Series Shift Knob?

1.Gather the Tools for the Job

The tools required to install a specific short shifter vary between models. You can use the list below as a guideline for the basic tools required to carry out the job.

  • Spanners (size depends on the shifter)
  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Flat-head screwdriver
  • Cutter
  • Pliers

2.Remove the Existing Shifter

The first thing to do is remove the old shifter. Start by removing the shifter knob by screwing it anticlockwise until it comes off. Then remove any trim covering the lower part of the shifter. Unbolt the shifter. Remove any other fastenings, such as circlips, holding the shifter to the gearbox. The shifter can now be removed.

3.Apply Grease

To prepare the new shifter for the car, all parts that connect to the car in any way must be moved from the old shifter to the new one. These include all bushings and the ball cup at the base of the shifter. Apply grease to bushings before attaching them to the replacement shifter. Ensure that parts are installed on the new shifter in the same order as the old shifter.

4.Install the Replacement Shifter

Installing the replacement shifter is just a reversal of the removal process. Insert the ball cup into the gearbox, and replace all bolts and other fasteners. Some short shifters come with additional accessories to adjust the position of the shifter. Refer to the shifter’s installation instructions to install and use these correctly. Finally, replace the trim, and screw the shifter knob back into place.

5.Replace New Shift Knob Assembly

Unscrew the existing knob (rotate counterclockwise) until it comes loose. Remove the cover from the bottom of the replacement shifter knob (if it exists). Place the cover on the shifter. Choose the supplied adapter that matches the shifter, and place it on the shifter. Use the supplied screws. and thread them slightly into the holes at the base of the shifter knob. Align the knob correctly, and slide it over the adapter on the shifter. Tighten the screws at the base of the shifter knob. Screw the cover (placed on the shifter earlier) to the base of the shifter knob.
