Rear cup holder replacement guide - X5 E53

[rfdude]

I needed to replace mine as it was broken. I tried everywhere to find a tutorial to guide me through this procedure with absolutely no luck. I took the console removal instructions and started into it. I also decided to take some pics and if I was successful I would put together a guide of how I did it with the intention of hopefully helping someone else out who is requiring some assistance should they need to do the same. I have attached the final pdf product and hope the steps are clear enough to follow along. I tried not too get to crazy in detail such as "move seat forward/backwards" as I figured everyone will have the knowledge to figure this out on their own.

The total time it took to do the job was just over an hour. I bought the part new off ebay for $60 shipped so it was a fairly cheap fix considering the stealership quoted me over $400 to replace it!

Anyway, hope this helps someone, enjoy it if so.

Cheers!
Bill

Looks like my pdf did not load as it may to too big to be uploaded (2.5mb). If anyone wants a copy or knows how to get it posted let me know and l can send it out.

Cheers!
