Thanks. I have F56. So, the instructions for R60 may not exactly match my case.
The guide suggests pry off console on the rear and that's what I tried first. However it was clear something else is holding it. It would be helpful to know specific locations of clips/latches/screws on F56, before I apply too much force and break it. |
Thought you had an R60 based off your in the Countryman section.
Here is the diagram for the over head in F56 headliner: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=51_9674 Rear view mirror: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=51_9809 Overhead: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=61_3300 Overhead switch : #2 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=63_1560 |
i assumed R60 also based on posting in R60 area

Thanks. My bad, sorry. This thread was on the same topic, I'm pretty sure the dis-assembly instructions would be similar.
Thanks for the parts listings, it was helpful. Although I'm really interested on how to get to these parts. I've managed to remove the cover of the overhead console, it was hanging on the 4 latches, 2 on each side. These has to be pushed or otherwise easy to break/twist. Yet, after uncovering the base, I still can't figure out what it's attached to, or how to remove it. There are no screws that I can find, and the whole thing feels not attached to a body, but more likely to the headliner, since it moves with it. My goal is to remove the overhead panel, so I can add my own switch and tap into electrical behind the console. The ball shaped mounting for the rear-view mirror possibly also has wiring I can tap into, although I didn't order the auto-dimming mirror, so that's questionable. Yet again, it's not clear how to open it up. I realize many things are clip-on now, but the plastic is too week. Apply force in the wrong place and it's broken, instead of detached intact. |

Yea, The diagrams are above, once you have the 11 digit part number , just copy and paste to our site in the search box. www.ecstuning.com Try to open things up and just be careful, with little trim tools or some small flat head screwdriver help. |
