  • This is a short video showing how to easily install both trim pieces of the E70 X5 center console. The cup holder surrounding trim is by far the most difficult piece to install without the proper technique. I'll explain the issue many run into along with the technique I use to quickly install this trim piece with no special tools.

    I have spent my entire day trying to figure out how to get that trim piece back in. When I found your videoI pressed pause, went out and tried it per your suggestion and now I just feel silly. That worked like a dream. I can’t thank you enough.
    Can I get a link to where you purchased your new console trim pieces? I might need to order some before I am done .

  • @clevelandaeromotive
    @clevelandaeromotive 4 года назад +1

    Although they look the same from the outside, I wonder if it’s the same on X6’s (E71)? The door panels from the E70 to the E71 are different. This could be too.

      +Ibraim Dauti Same here, dealership wanted to charge me $400. I sent a complaint letter to BMW USA. It's the most annoying thing. The dealership said it was my fault. About 3-4 coins are there and they rattle around. I have a 2015 BMW X5.
