Central console - how to open up?

Post by francoid »

How do I open up the rear part of the central console (the one that starts behind the shift assembly)? Thank you

Pop those two little covers off the back and you'll see a screw under each. You don't need to fully remove the screws, just loosen them and pull the console toward the rear of the car.

In the earlier post 82 E24 you can remove the black brush and push out these two squares on the right from the inside. Should be possible without removing the brush too.
Below you'll find a hex bolt. Withe these two removed you can remove the comsole.

Now that I have opened it up, and found how much of a mess it was inside, I am no longer so happy with my cleaning. Argh.

Also the brush like handbrake guard is in very poor shape, lots of bristles lost. #2 on the parts list. NLA it seems. Any suggestion on how to deal with that?

Thanks
