E90/E91 Center console armrest

Greyfox · 09-06-2016, 03:05 PM

Okay, I posted this question on one of the other boards and no response.

Anyone know how the E90/E91 armrest comes apart. The older ones (ie before 2007) had 3 screws and they would come apart.

Looking to recover mine with a black leather.

There's a really good video on YouTube showing how to remove a e92 armrest. The procedure is the same on the sedan and touring. I changed mine from black leatherette to saddle brown leather as part of an interior swap on my 2008 touring

Not finding that video on YouTube... but I can remove it just fine.

I want to remove the leather that is currently on it and put new leather on.

Not sure how you would remove the leather alone

Anyone got any ideas?
