Shift Console Pocket

Bluehighways · 03-14-2023, 09:53 PM

I added, or rather replaced the Blanking Piece on the Shift Console with a Small Pocket. On my wife's X5 4.5e the Suspension Raise/Lower toggle switch occupies this real estate.
I purchased this through AliExpress. Cost for me was $9.74 + $4.48 shipping and it took 9 days to receive it.
Search AliExpress for this text string: <Central Console Gear Lever Modified Storage Box for BMW>
The pictures below are how I removed the original Blanking Piece and installed the Small Pocket in its place.

That's pretty cool. Extra storage is always nice.

That’s a very neat option, thanks for sharing

Mine has just arrived - took about two weeks. All that I need now is the car to actually put it in (built and somewhere between Munich & Bremerhaven).
