Tools required:
T8 Torx Bit
Bondo Spreader
Cutters

DCT Shift Surround

Step 1:
Insert bondo spreader between cupholder trim and the stock DCT trim. Start to pry the console trim up to where you can grab it with your fingers.

The trim will pop out easily and remove it over the shift knob.

Step 2:
Place the new console trim in position and snap it into place.














DCT Shift Knob


Step 1:

The key to removal of the shift knob is the removal of the gear selector sticker. We remove this piece with a Nylon pry tool to not damage the stock knob cover.

Step 2:

With the emblem removed the Torx 8 screw will be exposed. Take the Torx 8 driver and remove the screw.

Step 4:

Now remove the cover from the shift knob and install the BMW Performance cover.

Step 5:

The BMW Performance cover comes with a new Torx 8 screw, but you can also utilize the old screw. After the set screw is reinstalled apply the new shift emblem.
































E-Brake Handle

Step 1:
Pull the E-brake handle off the mechanism, this will take some force.

Step 2:
Squeeze the upper part of the alcantara boot to release the e-brake boot from the console. As you squeeze pull up on the boot to remove it.

Step 3:
Pull the entire E-brake boot and handle off the mechanism.


Step 4:
Fold the boot inside out to expose the cable tie securing the stock handbrake handle. Cut the cable tie carefully not to damage the boot.


Step 5:
Install the boot onto the new E-brake handle in the reverse as you took it off. (Inside out and secure the boot with the supplied cable tie, cut the excess off)

Step 6:
Slide the brake handle onto the E-brake mechanism to where it clicks into place.

Step 7:
Reinstall the alcantara boot back into the center console by snapping it into place.

Here's what Ryan at iND emailed me a few days ago about the manual shift knob:

"According to my dude at BMW, supposed to be released end of this Month from Germany. Still waiting on pricing..."

[chmura]

Awesome write up!

I will be purchasing the 6MT kit when it become available!

The MP knob and boot specific for the ///M2 (ie blue stitching) are available to order through any dealer; it's about a three week wait. Not sure about the e-brake though. I was impatient and bought the MP knob and boot for the F22. They're available right now. It's the same knob and e-brake handle, you just have to separate the boots, as the MP boots for F22's have white stitching.

EDIT: hate to hijack the thread, but there's a sticky on the forum that lists ALL MP parts for the ///M2, with part numbers; I contacted my dealer, they could get the 6MT kit. It would come from Germany and take about three weeks.

BTW, here is a pic of my knob

Just did this on my car. Strongly recommend sneaking couple threads under the gear selector sticker to pull it off instead of pry tool, way easier and no damage to the original parts.

For the DCT shift knob. If I remove the screw shown in the 7th shifter picture. Can I remove the sift knob?

I didn't try, sorry I couldn't help.

[jtfields]

Is this kit really that much of an upgrade over the stock interior?

[srironman911]

Anyone makes a gloss carbon kit to replace my M Performance matt carbon interior?

[turboadam]

Damn, I didn't read down far enough about the use of thread under the gear selector sticker to pull it off.
I call BS on the use of a plastic prybar tool to get it off. There is no way plastic could loosen it. I used a butter knife and of course it slightly damaged the old 1. But the carbon is on there to stay so who cares.

great DIY!

[Lincoln30]

Can i buy just the ebrake handle? I have a manual and can't use the rest of the kit.

I used konoyei method. I slid a piece of dental floss up one side of the gear selector cover and around the top to the other side. A slight pull down on the floss cut right through the adhesive tape and the cover popped off without damage to the gear selector cover or the rest of the shifter.

I got the carbon fiber and alcantara interior kit from my dealer and my shifter/shifter plate/e-brake are NOT carbon. Did they just forget to install those? My dash near the glove box is alcantara and the door handles are carbon fiber (and bottom of the steering wheels). Did I get the wrong kit, or did the dealer forget to install the parts?

[SeanWRT]

Very educational write up! Can you clarify the meaning of "pull the e brake off the mechanism"? Thanks!

It's a different part. I almost made the same choice as you but luckily caught it in time. What you got is a port option. An alcantara trim which removes the dry carbon fiber which is what I did not want since I like the whole dry carbon look. On the performance parts section in BMW or iNd, this is a cf option that will replace the boot and dct handle while leaving the dry cf on the glovebox. You can order it but it is not a port option and that's why you car did not come with it
