Possible to Swap Volume and HVAC Knobs?

Hi All, after 6 years of ownership the knobs for volume and HVAC temp on my M2 are starting to get sticky. Anyone know if replacements can be purchased? If so please post a link.

And if so, what is the replacement process?

I know a family members Porsche had the same issue and we were able to purchase and replace the knobs but I am not seeing much out there on the web specific to our cars.

You've gotta buy the entire panel. Easy DIY to swap either/both of them out, but not cheap.

You might have some luck spraying some contact cleaner into the switches after removing the knobs, but I'd be very careful about spraying anything into the dash - the head unit has a spinning 2.5" hard drive in it, and you don't want it possibly ingesting anything.

That’s what I was worried about. Found no independent part numbers for the knobs.

At least it’s just those 3 knobs that are just starting to feel sticky. But annoying for sure especially for something that is inevitable over time.
