Thanks for the well thought-out video instruction! I don't know how many e39 center consoles you saved by producing this... (who would've thought that the hazard switch pops out from the inside?...)

[@mweber92037]

very helpful. Got it all done in under 30 minutes. just needed to clean the buttons, etc. thanks

[@kevinduplain7197]

Great video! Thanks for pointing out hidden procedure for ashtray cover. Like the way you sped up the video by loosening screws. Nothing worse than watching a drawn out video.

[@bimmermerchant]

Kevin Duplain Thanks

[@atv55803]

we need a e 39 shifter removal vid bad man cant fin one anywhere shifter broke on mine and its not easy

[@bimmermerchant]

Thanks buddy. You have to use brute force to pull the shift knob out. Thats the only way it would come it. Will post a video of how we do it so be sure to subscribe to view it. Thanks

[@bimmermerchant]

Thats good timing. Good job

[@technik333]

Very informative instruction! Could you please do a video for E34 5 Series console and dash removal?

[@bimmermerchant]

Thanks. Will be sure to do a dash removal once we get our hands on an e34 model. In the meantime, Please visit our website for all your pre-owned bmw parts: www.bimmermerchant.com

dismantling is definitely more fun than back mount :-D

[@rvalent9366]

I bought a new ashtray cover but it's not screwed, and i don't know if i can remove it safely

[@bimmermerchant]

Thanks for watching. Let us know if you have any suggestions on what topic our next DIY video should focus on.

[@DaytonCarCare]

I notice on some BMWs that they don't make the boot with enough slack for the P position. It gets dry and shrinks over time and either tears or pulls the mounting plate up on the trailing edge.

[@bimmermerchant]

You speak the truth. That is a common problem with the leather shifter covers. As a result, we sell used, in good condition oem boot replacements. Anyone having this issue, visit our website for boot inventory www.bimmermerchant.com Thank you for that input

[@DaytonCarCare]

I use this stuff called Bag Balm. It helps soften the leather that has gotten very dry.

I wish I saw this then I need parts I got same exact year and model

[@OvayBrandao]

Could you please do one on fixing the lighter socket ? That's really frustrating when it's ceased working.

[@bimmermerchant]

light socket for what unit? Headlight?

[@OvayBrandao]

bimmermerchant ligher socket :) The lighter you use to light up cigarettes. If it's not a faulty fuse probably it has something to do with the white wire harness I noticed on the left side when you were taking out the wood trim.

[@OvayBrandao]

bimmermerchant btw !!! GREAT VIDEO !!! Reaaaaally really helpful ! I got an automatic and I was busting my balls trying to remove the wood trim to get to the wiring (I burnt my lighter) and retrieve the top cover of the ash tray cover (there's a plastic casing that's wrapped in the specific plastic trim. Mine has fallen underneath the ashtray).

[@volf4o]

Is it the same for manual transmission?

[@bimmermerchant]

Hi i have a bmw e46 and i want to take off the leather thing under the gear knob, is it safe to just pull it off? By using something to get under it and pull it up?

[@bimmermerchant]

Pull it up

How do uninstall the center console storing partition (part 51 16 8 159 698)? I've have removed the center console wood trim, but I just can't seem to figure out how to remove the storing partition?

[@bimmermerchant]

If you are referring to the black storage with sliding cover, then you just pull it out.

[@HAMPGIRARD]

Hi, what´s your Ebay´s profile to find your products? Tks.
