IND | E-brake, E-brake Handle, and Shift Boot DIY
We're crazy about the details here at IND, and are excited to make one of our classic creations available for the new F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4.
Utilizing a genuine BMW core, our upholstery team has been able to replicate the tri-color stitching originally found on earlier M models. http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...tch-shift-boot Email: info@ind-distribution.com Phone: 866-963-4520 (Local 847-963-4520) Tools required: • Nylon Prybar • craft scissors, or any hobby knife capable of cutting a zip-tie IND Tri-color E-brake Boot Installation Step 1: The Factory E-brake and Shift boot are held in place by several plastic tabs located on the base of the boots. The first step in removing the boot is to apply light pressure to the outside edge on the base while simultaneously pulling the boot out of the console. Step 2: Now that the boot is removed, slowly flip the boot inside out. The e-brake boot is secured to the handle via a plastic zip tie. At this point take your hobby knife or scissors and snip the zip tie. This will free the boot for removal. Step 3: Remove the boot by pulling it over the e-brake handle. ///M Power Competition E-brake handle OPTIONAL:
Step 4: For installation, we prefer to flip the new e-brake boot inside out and secure the boot to the e-brake handle with the provided zip tie. From this point squeeze the base ring on the e-brake boot and install into the console. IND Tri-color Shift Boot Installation Step 1: Apply light pressure to the outside of the trim ring while simultaneously pulling the boot up. Step 2: Disconnect the PnP connector before removal. Step 3: As with generations past, the F8X M3/M4 shift knob is a pressure fit piece. For removal grasp the knob and use some old fashion elbow grease. Please exercise caution while removing the shift knob! We would be lying if we said a person has never hit themselves in the head while pulling the knob.

You guys made it look so easy to take off the shift knob! Mine took some series force and was a b*** and a half to get off lol. On the plus side I didn't hit myself!

Did any of your with the m perf ebrake handle/boot have an issue where the handle wouldnt go on as far down as the oem handle? I feel mine is like 3-4mm higher where the button is still out of the handle but not as far....I tried out both handles and the stock one kinda clicks in after the initial push....the mperf doesnt do that
