Received my glass volume control knob today. How do I get the old one loose without breaking anything? Has anyone done this already? Thanks
EDIT: The old one was quite tight, but with two tiny screwdrivers I managed to get it off without doing too much damage. The new one fits ok. Last edited by biterror; 11-19-2020 at 03:28 AM.. |

Ordered it Aug 25, picked up Sept 11. Supply chain seems varied...I couldn't get the luggage package with the auto-stowing cargo compartment shade. Soft close doors weren't available either.

As I said in a previous post about Alcantara headliner, seems like some cost cutting measures going on a lot BMW, whether minor changes or big ones, it all appears to be some cost cutting. Not sure how much they save by getting rid of the volume knob in glass, but it's the little things that make big difference in the luxury class. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but slightly disappointing none the less.

The crystal volume knob is now available

I also ordered the volume piece. Did you take off the trim piece on which the volume button is attached to? The video instruction below shows how to install the volume piece, but it doesn't show how the trim piece was removed. Do we need to?

Wow. From the difference in the little plates, the crystal plate must have cost BMW 3, maybe 4 cents extra per unit, or around $1,500 total if they sold 40,000 cars. I can completely understand the financial decision if it concerned anything other than supply. Smart business decision BMW. Really smart. Good to see you're still on top of your game.
