manual transmission getting hot?
I really seem to get a lot of heat through the shifter boot on the 535. Does this seem normal to everyone? Not hot enough to burn my hand or anything, but very noticeable.

I was going to ask the exact same question.
I noticed the same on my 535i 5-speed the other night. You could feel the heat a few inches away.
