The guy who runs mybimmer.net is e90post userid: srcstc
He is in the midst of doing this. I never bought any of his products, but he has a very good rep on mp3car.com Here is a link to one of the e90post member cars that has relocated the climate controls: http://i10.tinypic.com/6k9hs37.jpg Good luck with your project!

But the original question asked if the climate control can fit the sunglass tray. Based on the picture, the climate controls do not fit. The center console trim has been modified to make the climate controls fit.

Thanks for the DIY. The hardest part was a tossup between running in for a different torx wrench and prying up the center console. Took about 10 minutes.

I did this and it is a great upgrade. Turns the useless ashtray into a nice cubby. I can fit my iphone in there with extra room. If you can live without the power outlet then I say go for it. 20 bucks and 20 mins to do this for me.

I couldn't find your post on this. I'd like to have my GPS in there, and have it fold down with the lid covering it when I want it concealed.

Thanks! Just did this.. took 5 minutes literally...
My dealer charged 45 w/ tax But its worth it.. not just for sunglasses.. some place to throw my keys/phone, whatever without setting in the door or the lower pop-out door or even on the shelf where the nav is. |

Just got my e90 about a month ago and have been waiting to put this in. Sweet post by JWARCD. I got the part Friday (about $40 at Crevier; I know its overpriced, but wanted it now and there's zero shipping costs or waiting when I'm there already) and hope to have time this weekend. I'm going for the slightly modified illuminated version posted by FrankoQ. Thx to many others who've posted feedback on their attempts. Wish me luck.

just finished installing mine, Here are my results:
removing shift boot was really easy on the steptronic, took me maybe 45 seconds of careful pulling to get it out. The wood trim center console, on the other hand took me maybe 5-10 minutes...you really REALLY gotta be careful and pull moderlately hard to get it to pop out. I ended up breaking just about 1/8" of the trip up in the passenger side corner near the foot well, its so minor you can't even really see it since it tucks up into the body area pretty well, will superglue it later. Had to unplug a few wires to get the pieces off, not hard at all. Replacing the wood trim required a bit of prying, but got it off without incident. reassembly required firm pressure on the trim to get it to snap in place. Ended up getting a little grease on the trim from the mechanism, but wiped it off with a damp cloth. All in all difficulty would be 3 or 4 I'd say, just gotta be careful. I don't know why this forum uses backwards ratings (1 being difficult/expensive/not clear) but you can defiantly do this if you're careful! I'll take pictures after work.

I have a couple questions:
1. So if I purchase a 2011 335 sedan will this sunglass part fit? Tischer says its for 06-10. I'm assuming it will be the same? 2. I will have aluminum trim, will I need to order the aluminum cover when I order this part since the 2011 don't come with the aluminum cover. Do I need a separate part # for the cover? Or does the cover come with the sunglass holder part # above. thanks |
