That's sketchy. I don't think I've ever owned a car that was set up that way, and I've had a bunch. Hell, the Coupe was traditional screw on, FFS.
My E90 was this way, straddle the center console and deadlift the shift knob straight up. Installing the aftermarket one, push down and give it a few good whacks and your done:

I may need to check and see if the shaft is the same size/attachment method is the same, because I really liked the alcantara shift knob..
