Gotta love BMW engineering, 3 connectors all with different ways to keep them secure!! Four screws to remove bottom, only three to put it back in, WTH?!?!? Removing the lighter was no bed of roses either.
But all done and love NOT having the "cradle" in the way.
Since some say the pictures are missing I have attached a PDF of instructions w/ pics.

It sure was cold out today...
Glad you were able to get it done. It is so much better without it. The photos were missing for a while, but I did re-host them elsewhere so they should be showing up for the foreseeable future.
