I put the car in 5th and pulled until the knob slid off. Reverse the process to install. The thing I like best is the lighting of the new knob is much brighter and more even and the metal ring at the base of the knob is a nice match to the aluminum interior. It is shorter than the OEM knob which may bother some. I have not driven with it yet, but it worked fine sitting in the garage.

Awesome. Do you have some pics? I'm specifically interested to see the area where the wire comes out of the ring of the M5 knob and into the boot of the Z4, and if it's noticeable at all. Also general pictures of how it looks are welcome too. =)
