Can you send me more details about removing the phone cradle and ashtray please as things I'm keen to get done myself. Also how do you check the temperature I'm 100% sure mine is fine but would like to check.
Would you also mind PM me how much you paid for yours please?

Thanks mate, my car is quite similar to yours but yours is even higher spec! But both cars are quite rare and hopefully sought after.
The official way to remove the phone cradle is to remove the whole centre console which is time consuming. The method I used was that another member had used successfully.
Use a soft trim tool and insert it in the gap between the phone cradle an the armrest. There is a tab here which you need to push. Once done the cradle should come out.
I have highlighted the area;
The ashtray is fairly straight forward;
- Remove gearknob gaitor
- Pull up the wood/metal trim. This is clipped down.
- Once off, unplug the idrive connector
- The ashtray is screwed to this trim via 4 screws.
