  • Centre console cover replacement

    Just received an estimate for this to be done - it's the horizontal bit around the gear lever. Part is £145.52 (inc vat) and £67.50 labour (inc vat).

    Has anybody done this/had it done, if so are the estimated costs reasonable?

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Is it the part which holds the switches?

        You need to remove the console when changing that part so the labour charge looks cheap if anything?

          I have just spent over £2K with them replacing steering rack, discs etc - maybe they took pity on me!!

          Have asked them to order parts, seemingly 5/10 days back order.

            Do they come colour coded?

              Yes, the colour is a plastic type coating so all the interior plastics are different parts for each colour.

              I'm assuming Ian's gear surround is black? I'm surprised it is so expensive as I'm sure it's standard Z3 part (unlike the vertical part when the gauges go).

                Different shaped gear lever recess for the ///m. BMW are likely applying the ///m premium!!

                  Yep, i'm all black.

                  Hadn't really noticed before but the piece has an almost rubber texture to it - this has slightly delaminated. Had considered recovering existing in leather but switch fit is very tight and holes would need to be made (slightly) bigger. Not keen on this so staying oem.

                      These normally break around the aircon switch with the plastic being so thin in that area
