Great news here. I fitted a Raceseng shift knob and all the noise from the SSK has gone completely.
It mush have been the light plastic BMWP shift knob causing a resonance.
Now it's just fantastic, the 500 gram Raceseng knob makes the shifts butter smooth and even makes reverse easy to get.
It's a hybrid knob with stainless core and round black delrin outer. It feels fabulous and won't get too hot or cold like a bare metal one.
Pic is with the spare white stitched gaiter I had, I'll put the orange one on it now I know it works..
