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!
