I recommend some serious forum-surfing to better understand the order of disassembly.

Ultimately, I took a full day to pull things apart and reinstall. Even with great care and some experience with BMW interiors I managed to snap the tabs off the rear climate controls cover. Looking at the backside of this trim, I cannot see how it can ever be removed without damaging the mounting tabs?? More likely, I just had not seen this procedure...

The manual's illustration shows the carpeted side covers already removed - I recall mine were still installed when i pulled the cover off.

Anyways, that cover cost me $189 for the replacement.

All in all, totally worth it. That rolling coin was an annoying m*%f%*ker! Ended up being a 1966 penny rolling back & forth in our vehicle.
Thank you! My temp fix was just to turn my music all the way up lol.
