Decided to change my gear knob today to the SMG one found on the e46 M3. I already had the gear knob from a previous mod I done on my e39 so thought I would have a go at fitting it to the X5. Plus with having the SMG paddle shift I thought the the gear knob would compliment the Steering Wheel. It was a pretty straight forward mod, but what I have noticed is. On the ORIGINAL X5 gear knob you have the black push button which you pull to select gear....well so I thought!!! Actually the black button does nothing at all! It used to be a safety feature on the early e39's e38 etc but on the newer models it does nothing as the safety lock feature is controlled by the break pedal. Which is much better as it means various Gear Knobs can be used on the Auto X5!
