M5 shift knob retrofit - StonieG30 - 09-06-2022 Dear all I just got my Chinese M5 shift knob upgrade and installed those last Sunday. The quality is surprisingly good (130 USD), I can see/feel no difference to the original knob. Unfortunately, I do have a problem after installation. Whenever I stop driving (D or R) and come to a short standstill, there comes the theme gong (no error in the screen) and the D in the cluster, and the knob is blinking for about 3-4 seconds. I can drive normally and everything behaves normally, but this happens at every standstill. Now I took my BimmerLink to check if there are any codes saved and yes I found 3 codes for the knob, I will attach the screenshots. What is strange, is the code is saying "Error not present currently but stored", but I cannot delete/clear those codes. Has anyone an idea what it could be? I talked with many people which have installed this knob and nobody had a problem like me. I also dismantled and reinstalled everything again yesterday to be sure no button stucks or something else. Everything seems to be fine. I tried to upload a video from the issue, but is not working. Maybe too big. Thanks for help RE: M5 shift knob retrofit - StonieG30 - 09-06-2022 I think I posted this in the wrong category. Can an admin change it? M5 shift knob retrofit - ir655 - 09-07-2022 Does the fault disappear if you install stock knob? RE: M5 shift knob retrofit - StonieG30 - 09-20-2022 I found the issue already. The "P" button was stuck a bit and had always contact. Working fine now. RE: M5 shift knob retrofit - apoxx - 09-20-2022 where did you buy the pen, and how was it installed? RE: M5 shift knob retrofit - StonieG30 - 09-21-2022 You can find this kit online, depending on the region you are leaving. I live in southeast Asia and here we are using AliExpress. In Europe, I think you can also find them on Amazon or maybe eBay. But I suggest AliExpress. The costs vary between 120 USD and 200 USD. It is a kit, you need to dismantle the original gear knob and after assemble (piece by piece) the aftermarket one. |
