FYI for people who have just received your cars. If you're like me, you might only seldom have people in your rear seats who use the heater. My mom tried to push the button last weekend and the entire button pushed into the rear center console. You can put your whole finger in the whole that is left. It's probably a quick and simple fix, but I was a little embarassed to have this happen as I'm showing off the features of my new $50,000+ BMW to my parents. I'm getting it fixed tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes.

It couldn't be shoddy workmanship could it?

Funny, the same thing happened to me! It was a 5-minute fix at the dealer. The service tech popped out the plastic console around the button, re-secured the button (said it was not secured properly at the factory), popped the panel back in place and I was good to go.

Mine is space gray and had the exact same issue and got it fixed in the dealership quickly.

I'm going to to be sure to push every button, knob and gadget on that X3 when I pick it up! I'll make the dealer crazy

Getting this fixed as I type this at the dealership. Even though I scheduled the appointment with this issue in the schedule, they said they didn't have the part in stock. I kindly reminded them that they have 2 cars on the lot with the same switch and that I would appreciate not having to drive back out here to get this fixed another time. They agreed with my idea and they're working on it now.

I'm also getting mud flaps installed and picking up the other items from my $500 certificate: rubber mats and roof cross rails.

Thanks for this post! I had the same experience Mother's Day Weekend. Button was pressed in for the first time and the whole thing popped into the rear console leaving a hole where the button was.

Thanks to this post I decided to try a quick DIY and pooped everything back in place nicely. It was a easy and simple fix, but something I didn't expect in my new vehicle.

I sent a email to my CA describing the defect and the corrections made just in case some recall notice is prescribed in the future.

Okay, I make plenty of my own typos (worse than that above) so don't get me wrong here. For whatever reason that one made laugh to tears this morning. Thanks for that! (What can I say, the kid is still in me . . . particularly when only half-awake.)

Hope it works out with the buttons (pun?). I gotta check mine. Sounds like a lot of folks are experiencing it. What a pain.

Thanks for pooping that one out, I missed it when I first read it, an amusing typo. And thanks to Mike99PA for the original typo!
