The DIY I'll post is LONG, but the work involved is not difficult, maybe a bit tedious. You have to remove the E70 gear selector from the center console. You can probably get away with a minimum of ~$150 to get a used gear selector and don't plan to change the trim. Expect to pay more if it's nicer and you want new trim. The DIY will share exactly what to look for to find a compatible gear selector. Most are not compatible.
In this pic, I plan to re-wrap the climate surround trim to be piano black and will likely remove the steering wheel CF-look trim and go back to original trim. The shift knob trim shown is ceramic and the idrive is wrapped in piano black vinyl. The ceramic does go with the rest, I'll have a choice to make whether to keep the CF trim or stay with ceramic. The CF trim will come with the ///M logo on the R-N-D display...which is usable with any trim.

Looks good. No ///M logo on it I think...right?
