Centre Console, Between Seats

Post by Boggie »

Hi All,

At some point in the past a bodge-it-fit in-car phone installation has resulted in a number of holes being drilled in the rear-section centre console of my '85 M635CSI. IE: The section rearward of the gear lever, that extends between the seats where the handbrake emerges.

Do any of you happen to have a black rear-section centre console to help me with the restoration of this iconic German GT?

Thanks,
Ian

There are specialist guys around who can work magic to small, localised areas of interior trim, and fix this kind of problem. They're commonly used by the motor trade.

A decent one will ensure both perfect colour and grain matches to make the repair invisible.

I have the same problem on my M6. What is involved in removing the piece?

Pop off the two small covers on the top. This gives you access to the two rear mounting bolts. The front is simply held in place under the gearstick console so slide it backwards to remove.
