Refridgerator mod
 

I was wondering if anyone has ever put a refridgerator mod in there x5. I saw it on some website where it was installed in the rear armrest well. I cant seem to track down the site so any info is appreciated.

havent seen in the rear armrest, but I know they have one in the Range Rover sport right in the front armrest.

the 7 series has it (think 760il)... not in an x5 unless its a full custom buildout.

Should be cool!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

special ordered 7 Series has a cooled glove box.

i didnt see any fridge mods in that movie

One of those Dodge cars from the tv ads have one in the glove box...

I notice that my center console heats up/cools down depending on what I have set on the HVAC system. I'm sure it's because the rear ducts go by the box, but I'm not sure if the heating/cooling of the box is intentional. Anyone know (or notice?)?

i noticed that there are tiny vents in the center console compartment

but not sure how it's controlled. i know in the e90, there's an on off switch...but i think that just may be cooling

Those are for coins, lol!

I'm betting Wabbit-boy is smart enough to know that... :rolleyes:

was j/k. kinda

...they are? :rofl:

how about this idea?
during center console trim installation, had to remove whole center console, and when I was trying to remove it, I found this.
under your arm rest, after remove storge box, there is an air duct which provide cool/hot air to rear fresh-air grill.
(It's a just tube which you can remove and install easily)

if I cut/slide and connect another duct to storge box somehow, cool/hot air will flow to storge box also when you turn your air conditioner or heater.
how does it sound? I do turn on air conditioner during summer anyway, so shouldn't it keep your drink cold? (not ice cold but still cold!)
let me try it and find out if it works when I get new air duct and storge box. :D

Sounds like it might work!!

I want to try and make chilled cup holders to keep you cans cold and maybe heated too for coffee....

I think i am going to try and buy a small fridge and put in behind the rear passenger armrest. it opens anyway to fit skis and shit.:dunno:

Interesting keep us posted.

The E39 has an option for a rear mounted can fridge. It is finished exactly the same as the rest of the interior with matching wood trim and goes between the rear seat and the center console (on top of the hump). It's a real fridge and is shaped to hold 2 cans and 2 cans only. When closed, it just looks like an extension of the center console (albeit nicer cause it's finished in wood, not leather or pleather)

The only other BMW that I know of that has the fridge is the E65/66. It has a champagne cooler in the trunk with access through what would be the ski pass through/center armrest.

The new RR has it on the front arm rest. look in to it and maybe you can fit it to your x5.

Does anyone know if any BMW (or cup holders that are the same as and E46) has the option for chilled or heated cup holders???

Thanks!!
