The centra console holds the airbag control module and rear heater ducts. Similarly, the center console can be removed to expose the heater core and shift selector mechanism. Start by taking away the right lower dashboard trim and left lower dashboard trim above pedal cluster. After that, remove the shifter bezel and shift knob. Then, proceed to remove hazard warning switch and central locking switches as well as switching center. Use a plastic tool equivalent to BMW special tool 00 9 340 to pry out of center console storage bin. Loosen the mounting screws for rear fresh air grill at its rear area then carefully pull it out, unclipping from upper and lower clips holding it in position. Turn over fresh air grill and disconnect electrical connectors, set grill aside. Remove carpeted panels on either side of center console behind front seats. Be careful not to break front clip next to seat while doing this operation. Remove lower mounting screws on right and left in back of console. Pull carpeted panel forward; disengage from clips by removing left & right screw that mounts left & right side trims on console opposite of driver's seat (front).

BMW X5 Center Console Base

The BMW X5 Center Console Base offers a useful compartment between the front chairs that secures everyday items and keeps them within reach on the go. The Center Console Base works as a mini storage unit, organizing coins, phones, keys, and even small packs of cigarettes so that customers spend less time searching and more time looking ahead. The early BMW production runs and today's X5 have the same mandate, and while shapes and trim finishes have evolved, the basic Center Console Base still sits within reach, allowing for quick drop-in storage without eating up cabin space. The Center Console Base opens smoothly and latches shut to prevent contents from spilling out when the vehicle corners or brakes. Spring-hinged lids or sliding covers are found depending on model year. The Center Console Base's integrated cup recesses, padded armrest surfaces, and routing slots for charging cords show how unused space can be converted into functional real estate. Through synergies of intelligent placement with uncomplicated mechanical latches, BMW guarantees that the cabin of each X5 is very tidy and driver-friendly.

If you are looking for OEM BMW X5 Center Console Base, we highly recommend to shop with us. Not only do we offer budget friendly prices, but we also provide fast delivery. In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW X5 Center Console Base that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
