Z4 2010 Center Console Damper
The hinged console door on my Z4 2010 has lost its damping mechanism, so just slams shut, rather than allowing a partially open capability. Dealer says this is a common issue now so the replacement is on back order from Germany. They say the entire center console must be replaced. Seems extreme, but their call.
Anyone else with this issue? Mike |

The hinge in mine was clicking & interfering on opening from new, annoying more than anything. Being a new car, I wanted it fixed. You are correct in that the entire console needs replacing & ordering from Germany (more than likely, was the case with mine). Luckily they didn't damage anything during the replacement, it's a bit of a job.

Well my center console creaks when I lean on it. But that's the only problem I've had with it. But..you're saying it's supposed to be dampened too? I've never noticed mine to be that way, will need to go try it now!

My problem seems to be diffrent. Just got back from driving and opened up the arm rest lid and once I tried to close it, it wouldn't lock into place so it just keeps popping open. After a few tries, I manage to close it but I could feel it isn't secured and when I hit a little bump, the thing pops open again. I was checking it out to see if anything might have broken but I could find anything. Ugh, I guess I'm going to have to bring it to the dealership now.
