You guys know there’s that red tool in the back that’s used to turn a square under the center console cup holders right? You just remove the rubber liner in the cup holders and you’ll see the square. I imagine this is for all e70.
The 8 speed transmission is different. Under the cup holder liner, there is a little cap you pop open but there is nothing under it to turn. Imagine my surprise when I was following those directions and seeing absolutely nothing under the cap haha
