How to replace the BMW E39 5 series center console storage compartment. Unfortunately over time these accordion doors will eventually break due to age and the plastic fatiguing. BMW does not sell a replacement door and I haven’t seen an aftermarket option either, so you’ll have to buy a whole new assembly. It wasn’t overly expensive, but the broken door really bothers me. This particular car I am working with is a 1997 BMW 540i. You might be able to apply some plastic filler to the door tracks on the one with a broken door and finish up with a plastic paint which matches the interior finish. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the door failing again. #BMW #BMW5series #BMWe39

Procedure:

-and then on the opposite side
-so these are at the front and back of the compartment
-no tools are needed for this replacement procedure
-simply grab onto the sides, you can grip onto the sides where the accordion door slides in the slot
-pull up with your fingers and push down with your thumbs so you do not strain the surrounding trim and risk cracking it
-once it pops up, you can now fully remove it
-in order to install the new replacement compartment, ensure it’s aligned with the hold
-it may clip up on the edge, so you can pull it from side to side to help it seat correctly
-snap it into place and you’re done
