That entire rear center console is one piece I think. If you were able to take that head rest off the center/middle seat you would also be taking the cup holders out on the reverse side as well as latch for the compartment shelf on the back of that center console. Why do you want to take it off?

Thanks for your feedback. I recently ordered the 535xi white - so very partial to yours! It seems that center rear headrest blocks my view through the rear view mirror. I rarely have anyone in my back seat. Thus, I thought of removal to enhance the line of sight.

Just keep the rear armrest down...
