has anyone tried to retro fit wireless charging in front of shifter?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...946970621.html
something like this is done for the F30s, could this be done on the F80 if we remove that flap that's there now? would like it to be oem looking, but not under the arm rest which I use to store stuff (and would def forget my phone often there) |

I guess the F30 LCI center console is just like the F80?
Also, swap out your OEM wireless charger with P/N 51169227902 so you can actually store things. |

The center console that comes standard in the F30 is different than the standard one in the F80. However, the differences are cosmetic for the most part. Since both cars are based on the same chassis, the center console pieces should be interchangeable. RealOEM will show you the different part numbers for the different center console variants. You may have to look them up under both the F30 and F80 since RealOEM only shows parts available for the model you are searching under, even if other parts will fit. Good luck.

The big question for me is whether the knee pad can be detached and moved to the F3x LCI console. I have full leather so my knee pad is leather and I'd hate to give that up.

Knee pad is attached by 4 rivets (similar to some parts attached to the door trim). One could carefully drill out the rivets and re-attach with screws. Last edited by IK6SPEED; 06-04-2019 at 10:22 AM.. |

While this information is all good it's still not answering the OP's question. You can use the wireless charger in the eBay link without needing to swap to the F30 center console...

As the photo in the link shows, the unit is made for the BMW F30 LCI Trim. Clearly you didn’t look as it’s not even an eBay link. |

The non-LCI console trim must be hacked for this LCI pad to be installed, is what you really want to say.

If by hacked you mean removing the lid like the OP originally asked about - sure "hack" away. |

So out of curiosity, how stable is the phone in that spot during everyday "spirited" driving that M car enthusiasts are known for?

Also, the LCI tray is sunken in which gives more security to the phone than raising it up on the standard F30/F8x Trim where it essentially is hanging on a pivot. But as you can see, it's not worth trying to have a discussion with him. |

Wrong twice in one thread I have it installed, use it, and am happy with it. I post from first hand experience with the product and the install versus someone being a keyboard warrior with measurements. |
