Hi, hey I just wanted to THANK YOU for this video. Just purchased a used 650i convertible, and the gear shifter looked like a cat had been chewing on it, covered with scratches. I checked on KZbin for advice, saw your video, ordered by new part, and installed it just like you did. Getting the old one off was the only trick and your method worked perfectly and caused no damage. Just wanted to know, your two year old video is still valuable. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting this. My tool broke too! The nail file on my Swiss Army knife worked like a charm.

Thanks for upload. I was about to buy a whole new used shifter assembly off eBay because this plastic cover is all cracked on mine too. Didn't realize you can just get a new cover

[@enveedub444]

Same with mine did everything u did and came out perfect thanks man 💯

[@morals82]

I believe it cracks because of the heat

WinstonBMW... Just purchased the same vehicle, and my selector looks exactly like your original selector did. Dealer said it's cracks from wear, as opposed to scratches. Seems believable, as mine looks the same. Thank you so much for sharing this video! It was helpful just to see how you went about replacing it, and what to expect! I so appreciate the information! Enjoy your vehicle and be safe out there! Thanks again!

[@Martinez765]

Honestly idk happened to me too. Feel like all of bmws consoles/buttons get messed up

[@zhivkomarinov5449]

These scratches were caused intentionally by some repair shop where you took the car for repairs. It happens, especially if you were not satisfied with the repair work done on your car. There is a lot of malice, hatred and envy in some people.

I would not be surprised if that was the case. This car was bought used like this, so I don't know when and how it happened

[@zarz3049]

My son scratched it with a razor blade 😂

[@crizzforsale]

How does it compare to the oem cover, it looks pretty close?

[@Winstonzm]

Pretty close to oem. Can't even tell

[@hugorodriguez2347]

Can you please share the link of where you made the purchase?

[@Winstonzm]

It was off of Amazon. Couldn’t find it anymore but I’m sure there are different listings if you type it in

[@jlnriddick]

Hugorodriguez... I'm looking for the same thing, but looked it up before seeing this video. When I searched it, it came up on many different sites, so you should have no problem finding it. You probably already have since this comment is 4 months old, but thought I'd let you know anyway! Beautiful car! Enjoy!
