Having trouble taking off Shift Knob on my E92..

hak87 · 07-16-2007, 10:12 PM

Took off the boot and gave it a good TUG.. NOTHING.... I mean I gave it a really good TUG... I don't know what to do

... I see mainly people with e90's here that have changed out their stock knob for another.... Anyone? thanks.

I'll try that thanks buddy

I suggest putting it in 2nd gear and then trying it. Be careful when pulling the darn thing, you might end up busting your nose or hitting the rear view mirror pulling on it super hard. It took me about 5 minutes of effort and it came off.

AU335 · 07-17-2007, 01:05 AM

a fluid tug in 2nd gear, and give it a good yank!! That baby will pop right off.

RyBMW · 07-17-2007, 01:09 AM

Put it in 2nd and tug.

wj4 · 07-17-2007, 01:10 AM

2nd gear is how my car was done. It didn't put up a fight though, knob came off after only 1 try.

hak87 · 07-17-2007, 01:17 AM

thanks 4 the info i will try it in 2nd in the morn... thanks

2nd gear

Pull as hard as you can towards your body, not your face. The only thing you can hurt is yourself.

ArmyBimmerDude · 07-17-2007, 04:12 AM

2nd and pull. Very simple

thearchitect · 07-17-2007, 06:50 AM

if you're real worried about getting smacked in the face, take a pillow with you and hide behind it

bavarian19 · 07-17-2007, 07:07 AM

2nd gear and pull like no other... it takes a lot of effort, but as it should. I would hope that most customers dont want their shift knob to pop off easily...

HyperM3 · 07-17-2007, 08:10 AM

Just because everyone has already said 2nd, Ill vote for 4th gear and pull. Yeah...hmm...do you all think the OP got the point yet?

trying to be original, put it in 6th gear, go on the passenger seat,
and PULL.

Put it in neutral, get naked, sit on it, clench ur ass cheeks together as hard as you can and stand up quickly...

make sure the sunroof is opened.

Sniz · 07-17-2007, 09:05 AM

just watch your face or you'll end up w a bmw logo permanently embedded on your forehead...............it will come off with a good tug though. Just dont be a puss.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Gort · 07-17-2007, 12:27 PM

2nd worked for me with a really sharp yank. I even overdid it a little because I almost dented my roof from the inside.
