BMW E70 X5 - Center Console Trim Removal & Installation (2 of 2)

This is a short video showing how to easily install both trim pieces of the E70 X5 center console. The cup holder surrounding trim is by far the most difficult piece to install without the proper technique. I'll explain the issue many run into along with the technique I use to quickly install this trim piece with no special tools.

Although they look the same from the outside, I wonder if it’s the same on X6’s (E71)? The door panels from the E70 to the E71 are different. This could be too.

+Ibraim Dauti Same here, dealership wanted to charge me $400. I sent a complaint letter to BMW USA. It's the most annoying thing. The dealership said it was my fault. About 3-4 coins are there and they rattle around. I have a 2015 BMW X5.

Question--the door closest to the gear shift snapped in half (half of it is stuck under the console). What is the best way to fix it? My Indy is saying it's a few hundred dollars you have to replace the unit and the labor. Thanks.
