Removal Of Driver's Side Cubby F82

chrison600 · 02-28-2022, 04:53 PM

Hi all,

I realize this should have been posted in a tech area, but there doesn't seem to be one specific for interior/trim questions so here we are.

I've removed the two Torx screws from the upper area of the driver's side cubby in my 2015 M4, and expected it to slide right out, but it's resisting. I don't feel any additional fasteners, but there is a raised ridge long the top of the housing. Does anyone know the safe way to remove this cubby?

Thanks.

I punted and just drilled a hole in the cubby back without removing it. It would still be nice to know how to remove it, but no longer critical...

Look for that specific part on realoem.com and see what the whole piece looks like. Some dash parts have spring tension clips that hold in the bottom part and unless you are able to push up on those spring clips from underneath you'll only bend those clips trying to force them out.

Anyone have success removing this cubby? I wanted to remove it. Took the torx out not sure how hard to pull.

There are more than two screws holding this in and once you undo all it just drops out.
