Today, I bought these parts from...
Back when I did my speaker upgrade, I cocked up the passenger window switch. This has bothered me for awhile, but has been one of those things that I try to stop looking at. Yesterday, I found a yard with THREE X5's (one '04 had BOTH tail lights, btw). Anyway, I found what I wanted and got TWO just in case one didn't work. The 1st one I tried worked! The best part? If it's a small interior part or one of those screws that BMW wants to sell for $3, they'll usually let it go for free. These cost me nothing when I also bought a radio. The plan for the radio may not work out, but I figured $25 wasn't bad to try.

I really wish I had a pick n pull by me, I'm just like you - the little things bother me (and I know perfection is not reality if the car is used and driven)
The center cupholder is driving me nuts lately - I am thinking to use 3M scotchbrite pads this summer, pull the console, and disassemble it and re-spray in Plasti dip (new one is what $300? any used ones will have wear too) -

Wish I had one here too.
My son and one of his friends went to a pick-N-pull $100 all you can carry day in FL. He got all the seats and door panels for his "well worn" Lexus ES 350 for $200. The car he stripped had a spotless leather interior. Getting a drivers seat recovered would have cost more.

What exactly can you fit in that damned thing besides only one cup? I find it mildly irritating it can't hold two.

Hey Prop, if you need an original radio, I have 2.
One from my e39, and one from X5. The e39 was 2003 (no DSP), the X5 is 2004 (with DSP) I think both are the professional HU models. Both mint condition, have no use.

We have a pick-n-pull but for BMW's it's really only useful for the e36,e38, or e39 chassis. Very rarely do I see an e46 and e30's are pretty rare now too. Never seen an e53 there. Never.
For little things like the cupholders, steering wheel trim, etc. I use CL and look for partouts or really cheap donor cars that blew an engine or the like.
