'13 X5 Console Trim Bubbling

The trim ring (plain black plastic piece) around my cup holder area is bubbling.

Has anyone had this problem? Can the piece be removed without taking out the entire console? If so, anybody have a part number?

Thanks.

Very easy to replace with the right method. Here's a video I put together showing the process:

Excellent, thx for the video.

I called the dealer, both trim pieces are ~$100. Not too bad.

I'm 2K miles past warranty so not sure its worth the battle so may just buy them and do it myself.

Outside of that, pretty disappointing from a quality of parts perspective for this brand at this price point. I would expect it at a lower price point brand. But oh well, bigger fish to fry in life than this.

Thx again.

Yeah I had an extended warranty and just replaced both pieces myself while I was also replacing the cup holders. Price isn't too bad and makes a considerable difference in the cabin.
