You dont need pictures to work out the safety feature! You cant photograph it to begin with.

It used to be a safety system on early cars as they did not have break pedal gear release. I also though it did something on the X5 but on testing a few things first before I remeoved it, I discovered it didnt do anthing! BMW most likely kept it in production to save costs as this type of gear knob has been in production since around 1995!

HERE YOU GO!! I'm not finished with this mod yet as I may change to the illuminated M5/M6 Gear Knob. But I'm also working on modifing the GEAR KNOB SHAFT as I want it to be shorter. But here is some pics of the SMG M3 gear knob and SMG steering wheel with paddle shift, all working correctly too!!!

That looks pretty cool - thanks for the pics! I like your idea of making the shaft shorter too. I suppose the only thing that would bother me is the pattern on the shift knob not matching, i.e. reverse isn't left & up on an X5. Are you planning on somehow addressing that?
