I think I ordered the wrong one (51169233362) from theBMWParts store.com. Can you tell me what the diff is btw the 2?
thanks!!

If you want to go the route I did and replace the console, you'll need to order this:
BMW Part # 51 16 9 184 500 |
Basically you can follow the guide, but when you get to Step 6 instead of pulling all of that apart you can remove the cubby (as shown down in the guide) and there should be connectors you can just unplug instead of taking the circuit board out. You can do it either way, even doing it the way I wrote above isn't terribly difficult.
I answered your PM too, but I think you need to order the part that ends in 500. I think the one you ordered is the original cubby like what your X3 came with.
