Here we are with another useful DIY for all you BMW Fanatics out there. Even though we've been covering a lot more recent models lately, we didn't forget about the guys who own E46 3ers or E39 5ers.
Today, we're showing you how to replace your E46 3 Series' gear knob with an illuminated one. In case you didn't know, BMW sells OEM illuminated gear knobs as you might find on an M3. The part number is: 25 11 9 415 379.
All you need to do this switch is a solid 30 minutes of work, a phillips screwdriver, a pair of pliers and the 2 gear knobs, of course.
The process is really simple and we have to thank the guys from argyrides.eu for their useful DIY that got us through the simple quest and will do the same for you. Enjoy!
