Will my f30 need to be reprogrammed if I replace the gear selector switch (knob shifter)? I took apart the interior and found that it is connected with a plug. Removing everything took me about 30-40 minutes and was fairly easy ( I may make a DIY). I have a new GSS coming in and want to know if I need to have it sent to the stealership or private body shop to fix any "error codes" (if any) or to be reprogrammed. Thanks all.

Here is a picture of what I am replacing ( excuse the pic with the "unlock button" off). I'm replacing it because of the scratches.

You can replace just the insert:

Any other site I can purchase this from? Site above looked shady, I tried purchasing but got an error on two different cards and found lots of negative reviews after like shipping took over 2 months, no refunds, etc etc.

I'm actually interested in the answer to this, as well. I ended up buying the entire shifter assembly with the ///M performance carbon fiber shifter, as I somehow found it for cheaper than the insert.

I'm assuming it's PnP and that any VO coding remains since that is in the ECU (I have coded the 2TB - sports auto transmission). But are there any concerns to be aware of when switching out the shifter assembly? It looks to be a couple Torx screws and single connector, based on the unit I received.

Thanks for any help the community can provide on this.

** PS: To the OP - as long as this is PnP like I think it will be, I'll have a stock F30 shifter assembly for sale pretty soon here

I have one on the way, how much are you looking for? I spoke with the company that sold it to me and they said it should be completely plug and play. So that means no errors codes right?

I have a complete shifter like that for sale if anyone interested.
