Knob removal ?

[martauto]

Evening all, dont slate me for this but, how do you remove the gear knob from my 318ti sport please?

Its the m-sport one with a bit of chrome on top which has come away in places and looks a bit scruffy so I have bought a replacement.

Cheers, Mart.

Just give it a tug and it will pull off, mind you dont punch yourself on the nose though.

Arm wrestle some blokes in the pub till you find one that beats you, then ask him to pull it off for you.

Will I do any damage to the stick by twisting it ?

not unless you're 'trained' in doing damage

Arse on the centre console, both feet on the dash engage 2nd gear and pull!
be carefull you don't knock a tooth out !

Mart a little twist as your pulling won't break anything

This is literally a case of man the fuck up and tug harder..

[Morat]

I thought the same until I lost my temper and suddenly off it popped.

Arse on the console did the trick mate.

Handy second-hand Brian Moore tip - leave the steering wheel bolt on (but loose obviously) to save on sore faces...

Holy Crap! Is that stitches, or the imprint of the wheel stitching?

That was the result of falling down the stairs from top to nearly the bottom and hitting the wall with my head.

I was waitng at the time for a hip replacement joint and things gave way at the top and I ended up with some "carrachter" (?) on my face.

I believe it was 48 ish stitches but what the hell , I m still around and thats cool for me.

Glad you're ok, I thought the wheel did that!
