The fold out cup holder in the center armrest of my X5 recently self destructed (plastic cover broke, and retaining clip inside went flying never to be seen again). My dealer wanted $350 installed to replace it, which I politely declined. Bought a nice clean replacement from my local recycler today. From the looks of it, I am going to have to disassemble the armrest, remove the cupholder insert, then unscrew the bezel from the old unit and pull it out and replace it. Not too daunting, but kind of a PITA.

If it matters, my SAV has third row seats and the adjustable and reclining 2nd row seats.

Anyone ever taken this on before? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Crash
