Hey guys, I have a problem here. My friend accidentally knocked the front cupholder of my E60 (the right cupholder) and the front cover (where you press the button for the cupholder to come out) came out. I tried to fix it back but as a result, the cupholder was stucked inside and when i pressed the button it was not working anymore. I was so mad about it. Anyone of you face this problem before ? Will the BMW fix it for me? i am from California thou. Need help! thanks.

There is a screw under the black 'sticker' on the front of the cupholder. If you remove this screw, you can remove the entire cupholder from the dash and try to fix it. If you mess up, just put it back in and take it to the dealer to fix.
