Are we talking about the center console between the seats or the compartment in front of the passenger seat?

If it's the center console, I thought BMW designed it where you are required to press down on the console to depress the button before opening it. At least that's what I was told by service and sales guys.

For some reason the glue they used to hold that padded leather looking part on during the first couple years of production lets go in the heat... they have updated parts and will change it for you under warranty. You can have it done the next time you go in for service/maintenance or just call and make an appointment to have it done. (calling ahead may allow them to order it in the correct color if they don't have it in stock)
