Dealing With The Results Of Water Leaks

I have just got my Z3, a 2002 1.9 Sport, oh what joy the car is. But I found evidence of a leak in the passenger footwell, I have so far collected over 6 litres of water and am still left with a carpet which refuses to dry out at the front bulkhead end. It seems the only solution is to cut the carpet where it goes under the plastic trim. Removing the trim seems achievable except for the trim at the side of the centre console - see photo, I have searched everywhere on the web but nowhere does anybody describe how this bit is fixed and I'm reluctant to pull too much without knowing how it is fixed. Can anybody help?

      Engine running weird when hot

      Hello everyone, got a 116i m sport n43b20a. Had it for about 3 months and soon after buying noticed a wierd problem. When cold the car would run perfectly, however when warm or stuck in traffic you could feel it become a little bit rough, sort of a banging feel from the engine which you can feel through the car. When doing this, when driving it runs perfectly. However when you attempt to pull away, the car will drop to around 400rpm and pull away a bit bouncy, having to give it more accelerator to prevent it from stalling, whenever in reverse it does this and normally leads to stalling. Over the last 3 months it hasn’t gotten worse but it does the pulling away thing when it is cold now. Had a service >1k miles ago with plugs. Also had it smoke tested and no signs of any leaks. Does anyone have any advice or had a similar story? Cars on 161k Thanks

      I want my backup camera display on my 2022 X5 to cover the entire screen. How do I get rid of that partial camera display on the far right. It's a hindrance to human and vehicular traffic.
