&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; NOTE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; FOR BMW E39 5 SERIES: Although it can be positioned more to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the front or rear if desired, an ideal location is above an area&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; on the floor where there is a slight depression, just below where&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the rear edge of the carpeted bolster meets the plastic console&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (as shown in the picture). 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; NOTE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; FOR BMW E46 3 SERIES: Lifting the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; edge of the console slightly as you insert the tab will make it&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; easier to push the angled bend up and under the edge of the console. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; NOTE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; FOR BMW E38 7 SERIES: The holder&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; installs in the same way under the lower edge of the carpeted bolster&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; which covers the full length of the console. When first inserting&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the tab, make sure that you slip it behind both the bolster and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the edge of the console underneath so that the top tab is not visible&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; when installed.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Note&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; that you&#039;ll be pushing the upper arm up behind the plastic of the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; console and padded noise insulation behind it. As you push, you&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; may feel some resistance from the insulation and from the spring&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; action of the bends in the upper arm; however, it should not require&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; significant force. It may help to lightly depress the bends on the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; upper arm to help it slide in place more easily. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If it seems very difficult to push in and up, stop and reinsert&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and try again, this time pushing in a more upward direction. If&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the angle is too low, you&#039;ll be pushing directly into the carpet&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; along the side of the tunnel under the console. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If you still have problems, please contact me for assistance.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; holder is designed to sit at a slight angle toward the console to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; provide additional depth and better hold containers. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bends in the top arm act in a spring-like fashion against the edge&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; of the console to hold it in place. The edge of the console will&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; deflect slightly from the pressure. This is by design and is intended&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; to secure the holder as tightly as possible.

It should&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; not move easily in a forward or rearward direction, and it should&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; spring back slightly toward the console if the arms are pulled out&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; gently toward the door.
