E92 i-Drive knob on E90?

rsjames · 05-10-2007, 01:24 PM

Anybody know which one better matches the aluminum trim? Mine doesn't match all that well (too glossy compared to the brushed look of the aluminum trim). It's a little thing, but it's annoying me...

I don't have the Al trim but I would imagine the lighter one would match better

Hold on boys... looks like there will be a delay on getting these knobs.
about 10 days according to JD.

Yeah.... I wanna know who stole mine

I SWORE that mine was shipping first but no... SOMEONE had to order theirs after me and got mine. Now I have to wait for them to come in like everyone else
NOT COOL
See if I help any of you guys again

Whoever gets theirs first has to do the DIY

Of course

grab the bottom of the idrive knob with your finger tips . and just pull up with even force. replace the new idrive knob and just push it down with your thumb.

What? no pictures?

And you forgot to tell us the level of difficulty.

Greeney · 05-18-2007, 06:42 PM

Its a level 10, harder than retrofiting a set of xenons on a non xenon car!

MWcoupe · 05-19-2007, 01:46 AM

not hard at all...1min is all u need

anthony_h · 05-22-2007, 01:34 PM

the UPS website said my knob has been delivered... I'm going to install it when I get home.
Do you guys still want pics of the install?
