- In this video I show you how to install the F10 M5 OEM shift knob in my E92 M3. I realize this video is a bit long, but there doesn't seem to be many tutorials out there in video format so I was very detailed.

Looks good man. I see those Adidas
I'm trying really hard to make sock and sandals "cool" 😂
Shifted Perspective: Thank you for this video. I have been looking all over for it. I want to do this same project on my E46 M3.
Lol it’s looks sketchy the way you did it but turned out perfect when you applied it on like it’s been out from the factory 😂 good work
2:00 do you even lift bro?
I need to hit the gym more often 😂
Do you even lift bro? Pulling that shifter out makes me wonder.
If someone sold this already assembled, sign me up!
Looking to fit this to my e46 M3. Can you vouch for the fact that it made the shifts more pleasing? Thanks!
Great video and highly recommended upgrade.
After almost 20 years, my original E46 broom handle was completely worn. This shorter ZHP shifter is much, much nicer than the original. And although it takes a few hours to refit the M5 boot in your M3, you definitely want to go through the trouble of putting in an illuminated OEM shifter... it looks awesome.
A few tips to add to the video.
First, don’t use a knife to remove the M5 boot from its frame. A flathead screwdriver to loosen the glue + pliers to remove the staples is all you need and you won’t have to worry about cutting your new boot.
Second, you definitely want to use binder clips to set the new boot on the old frame before gluing. The shape of the M5 frame and the E46 frame are very different, and the corners are a challenge. It took me a few tries to get the corners exactly the way I wanted them, and even so, I was left praying that the fit would be ok for all shifts. It ended up looking great with the stitching just slightly off of each of the front corners, but it did leave my 5th gear shift just a bit snug (that’s the one you’ll want to be most concerned about). Good news is that the boot is leather and has already started to stretch a bit after a few hours of driving.
Finally, when gluing the new boot to the old frame, glue will seep out through the staple holes. I used Gorilla Super Glue and almost glued my fingers together! Don’t use too much glue and clean the excess with a q-tip before handling or resetting the binder clips. After replacing the binder clips, let the glue set overnight. The next day you can trim any excess boot leather with small scissors.
I’m not typically the home or car repair guy, so I was a bit nervous about this, but you shouldn’t be. Overall, it was fairly easy, but it does take time... you can’t rush it. For me, it was a Saturday afternoon project while watching TV, and then 5 minutes on Sunday to trim and install. If you’re considering this project... GO FOR IT!
Is there a company that does this? I have a e90 m3 and want the illuminated zhp kno but I don’t want to do it on my own. Is there anyone that does this and send them out?
have to do this in my 335i!
Thanks so much for your tutorial, I took my time, used gorilla glue and clothes pegs, turned out great and just what my E92 needed!
was this enoug hor did you also do a short shift kit after
Great Vid! Nicely done. Ditch the sandals though...
Thinking of doing this. What was the verdict after using? Keep up the great work.
+Kevin Newton it was perfect! I wish I did it sooner
A great DIY video sir!
Hi please can I have a vin number for F10 M5 manual so I can order a gear knob in SA
Thanks for a great video. I just ordered my shifter and will need to make sure I watch this a few times before I start. Thank you!
The easiest way to pull it out is the squat over the knob in second gear, with one foot on each side of the centre console. Grab it and stand up letting your legs do the work
I had to hammer that damn ring in after swiping the knob. PITA. But feels great in the end - shorter throws.
Can this be done on a 2006 118i E87? It's shift knob is not illuminated though.
If you could do it over, do you think you would do the other method of cutting the knobs off? Cant decide which way to do it.
Helpfull because I have to do it as well .. but i'm so lazzy for the moment :(
Found using a steamer to remove the leather from the frame worked really well on the glue vs using a blade
Notification squad!
Hell ya brothaaaaaa
hello, could you tell me the code of the bezel of the gearshift boot?
I ordered it as soon as you posted it up in Instagram, wondering when you were going to upload a video lol.
More Jeep vids??? I follow you on insta bro :)
Unless a person has gone through these procedures with these shift boots, it's hard to understand how tedious the work is. When I finished mine there was one corner that to my eye was imperfect, and of course that's the only thing I focused on for weeks. You did a really nice job.
Agree. It took a few evenings of focus on my free time, but so worth it. Thanks man!
Why didn't you use the shifter from the M-Sport regular 3 series? That one is much shorter than the stock M3.
It’s not illuminated
I heard of someone knocking a tooth out removing the knob... BE CAREFUL
I almost punched myself in the face. But that is natures way of putting my in my place 😂
I had that knob on mine go-kart
lemme buy the old one off of you
Made the right choice. I like it!
Very nice job.
What did u connect the cable too?
I plugged it into the same factory wire that powers the oem knob
@@ShiftedPerspective The wire is just dangling there on all M3s from the factory?

thank ya!
