Hey Nathan. Just want to say I love watching all your videos. I've been searching through your videos looking for one on a compression test. Was wondering if you knew specs. Thanks. I have a 03 e53 m62. Thanks again

hey bro - just a little tip. if you put it in Neutral the knob should pull off somewhat easily. i believe that's why it gave you such a hard time. IDK if that is actual procedure but it always works for me.

He had to put it in netural

I can definitely appreciate you showing the struggle! Sometimes people make it look too easy! 😎

Looks weird and doesn't seem to blend in with the interior. Would look better on an e60 but it just looks odd in an e39.

E60/E61 did get that shifter as part of the LCI refresh mid way through its life. My ‘08 520d E61 Sport has an identical looking shifter to the one being retrofitted in this video :)

needs to be in NEUTRAL to pull the shifter off FFS!

You have to put it in drive , then there is no struggle like you had 😂

Congrats on the silver plaque Nathan great job!

For me it looks good ❤I really like it

Looks nice

Finally I will be able to upshift to myself! 😀

I have been looking for this for my 06 325i

being that the wire harness can go either way ! Try turning it around and the parking lights may work ! BTW looks Great thinking of doing an upgrade on my M3 06!

Nathan love your videos!! 2000 528i knocking at idle while warm only ... the littlest rev makes it go away

Hi Nathan that looks pretty cool never thought it wood my get one for myself .my alternator has gave up I think do you have a video on removing alternator from e39 2001 520I se regards Barrie

I feel ya man. I have been trying to get the shift knob off of my 2007 Z4 for awhile now. It may also have a clip like that to. Hmmmm

If u want to work these side indicators just solder/add another conection from these wires that connects with the knob light😉

Hey dude I'm wondering if this will fit on my E38. I'm on the Amazon store and it doesn't say that it'll fit your E39 but it clearly does

Would this work on my 04 e83 3.0i 4x4 automatic? i have GM transmission but dont know witch model 😁

Can you get a head unit for that car and show how you connected it or maybe you run into the Same problem as I did please

ive a 5401 97 the shitter broke and it wont return to park or reverse once you go by it ,ever seen this and I`m not sure what`s broke seem internal at the shifter or maybe a return spring broke somewhere I really don`t know enough about it but its like the button on the shifter is just not engaging right its real weird left me stranded too because I couldn`t reach UNDER far enough to shift it by hand need a vid removing the enter shifter its an automatic

Next time you try that Nathan pull the handbrake then put into drive then press the pull it up✌🏻. P.s. love your channel if it wasn't for you I wouldn't get my 5-series going again, so BIG THANK YOU 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Haha, "so, ok my little baby arms.." aw man you were below the line of leverage, its ok. Im a big fan as of late. Just gon an '01 e39 and you speak the word on these cars!it may be a labor, but its a labor of love!

Cuentan con un arnés para iluminar la perilla de un M5 que puse en un M3 e46 SMGii? donde la puedo comprar?

The manuel controls are around the wrong way ?

Gotta put it in neutral but loved the video

Hey Nathan where is the link for the shifter knob? I cant find it anywhere

Hey Nathan, I have an e60 with the N52 3.0 in it. Sometimes when it’s cold out the car stalls when I’m driving and the idle is very rough. Any ideas of what it could be?

Mine was doing the same thing in the cold. Once it warmed up a little the problem persisted even though it improved just a little. Almost everyone was saying it was the DISA valve. I ordered and replaced my old DISA with a new OE DISA , NOT THE CHEAPER CHINESE CRAP, and it all instantly went away. There's also a couple of DISA rebuilt kits available with German Auto Solutions having in my opinion, the best DISA rebuild kit on the market. For the past couple of days here the morning, temps have dropped down into the 30's. Now in the morning when I start her up there isn't any fuss whatsoever. No shaking, no funny vibrations, just smoooth ideling. I also got a noticeable power increase and better gas mileage. Nathan has a couple very good DISA valve videos about your exact symptoms, check them out...

Daniel Watts thanks you for the info, I’m definitely gonna look into it. Problem is that the car has no codes to go by and I don’t want to start throwing money into it lmao. I originally thought it could’ve been a problem with the CCV/PCV system but I really have no idea. Only thing I could think of having to do with the DISA valve is that I had the starter replaced recently and the whole intake manifold was removed so maybe the shop I took it to accidentally did something to the DISA valve. This definitely is useful. Thanks again

Id use a shifterboot from manual, seems kinda stupid to have three gear indicators, one on the stick, on right below the stick and one in dash.

I have a 1998 528i Automatic, I seen how your shift stick has the P-N-D-R or whatever order it is; yours has then you have the ability to slap the stick left in manuel mode then use it to shift stick manually,. I understand your vehicle is a 2001. I would like to try and "retrofit" or cross over the 2001 shift stick system too my 1998, would I be able to basically take JUST the center console shift stick from a 01 then swap it to my 98 and use it? Or would I have to get additional parts; change or modify the transmission I just prefer the 01. PLEASE give me advice.

I did my e91 a few months ago. Way easier! Put it in neutral squeeze the button an pull up. I also always pull my neg off my battery for being fearful and untrusting of these modern electronics.

Plus one to putting it in neutral. Can say it is much easier from experience

Will it work on a 01 BMW X5

Put the shifter into drive press the button

Hey bro all yuh need to do was put the car on neutral then pull

U have to put the car into neutral before pulling off the shifter. Pretty sure thats why u were having issues.

You supposed to put the gear in neutral first before you can pull it off.

Put that bad boy in neutral, then pull up on the shifter. I did it that way and it came off with very little force

Done mine and pretty straight forward,but eventhough I am an experienced mechanic /electrician I still read through the instructions that came with the shifter. Really bad installation video ,starting with the essential putting shifter in N before pulling it off.It comes off smoothly ,couldn't believe he used an object to yank it out!!He could have broken something !Bad example for anyone to follow. With regards to the wiring ,it isn't difficult as all the plugs fit best one way . Why didn't he turn the side lights on so we could see it all light up on the shifter,looks great and built in . FFS didn't he notice that when he shifted into Sport mode that the orange lit up .The rest didn't because of a bad pin connection .

what ascrew up .you popped the old one in park damage only pop in neutral ever and this looks realy crap . my e38 has wood and stays wood .

Nathan, man, sorry to say this but that head camera is not doing you any favors.

he makes it look difficult fiest of all put the selector in nuetral it will come out no problem. a manual shift boot would look better and the reason it looks so out of place is its wood trim with a silver selector if the selector was black and sat a bit shorter on the dash it would look alot better

I like you videos Nathan, but I absolutely hate that F series shifter. It's the worst thing BMW ever did to their cars.

But will it work with the GM 4-speed transmission?

@@imdam-ned The GM transmission is cable operated. I believe, but am not 100% sure, that the later 5-speed transmission are electrically shifted and there is no cable connecting the shifter to the transmission.

Looks ugly on e39

Yuck! I'll stick with my original.

Bad look to the e39 that shifter is cheap ass look sorry I put one when they first came took it off make sure the car goes to sleep after install
