Center Console Removal

jair_onsa · 11-21-2011, 05:14 PM

can anybody help me with this one, i've located most of the screws but i dont know how to remove the leather section that covers the screws thats located on the right side of your knee if your driving and the one on the left side of your knee if you're the passanger, it looks like a little cushion covered in leather.

They just pull off. They are tight....

i try to pull them off from the inside but they didnt seem to move at all, what's holding them, clips?

clips. You need a butter knife and to be very careful not to damage anything. They are concentrated at the edges (3 clips?) but thats where you need to start

Yes, they are very tight. I thought I was going to break them when I pulled the center console out of the Roadster. They just pull straight out.

do i use the knife from under the plastic or right at the edge of the leather cover?

If interested you can purchase a BMW repair disc from EBAY for around $15.
