Removing the Center Console on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Dashboard

Start with the lower glove compartment and the area below the air vents. Remove these by using a plastic trim tool all around. Do this slowly, and the vents will come out; then disconnect the connector. Pull the gear shift lever with force, then use the trim tool to lift the boot and disconnect the cable. Also, disconnect the connector from the lower frame of the gear shift itself and remove it. Next, take off the main plastic of the center console, then the boot of the brake lever and the lever itself. And you're done!
