2001 BMW 740i CupHolder Installation Help - BMW Forum

umoms · 02-08-2008, 12:27 AM

I read a few guides on how to fix the cupholder on this vehicle but I couldnt find one on how to remove and install the cupholder. I am stuck at the point where I can not remove the wood trim on the passenger side dash. Is that necessary to remove? There is a screw inside a plastic rivet in the center and It doesn't seem like it snaps off. How do I remove that?

Does anyone have a detailed guide for removing/installing the cup holder.

The guide I found was just for repairing and I am stuck at the removal part, especially the wood trim on the passenger side.
