BMW E46 Ski pass through, Cassette information and DIY doityourself

[danewilson77]

Doing research for the ski bag (for UdubBadger)....I ran across some info I wanted to earmark.

Realoem drawing leads one to believe part (pass through cassette) is not readily available.....but....oh wait....it certainly is. Read on....

So...if you want to perform this DIY > Perform the below steps.

I. Order parts.

The entire assembly, with bag is available through ECSTuning....and probably others. P/N is 72608215262.

II. Knock out rear pass through door using the below DIY.

There are a ton of "Removal DIY's and it looks like most are doing this to install subs.

III. Install pass through casette ordered in step I.

I have no specific direction here, and would need to update this when someone does this DIY, or if someone else finds said info, I can update. Either way works. It shouldn't be that difficult (to install) regardless.

Other info I found while looking around.

Here is the cassette and P/N. Good info/pics throughout the thread.

Just gives a guy an option at cars that don't have ZCP. I think I remember someone looking for a ZHP with this option...ummm.....can't remember who it was though.

No worries Brett. Pitch in where I can.

I want this, but I don't $300 want it. Any DIYs for making a cheapo cassette. I don;t need the ski bag.

Can we just "knock" out the center piece in our cars too? The DIY said it was done on a pre-facelift car. Is it the same on ours? I'd be interested in doing this and putting in the pass through since the sub I just installed has to be cranked up to actually be heard in the cabin. I'd also use this for my skis though and just general convenience.

I don't know if this helps but I have fold down seats and the ski pass (with the bag and everything) but the ski pass hole isn't punched. So if I ever wanted to use it, I'd have to cut out the hole cover. Weird. I easily popped it out on my old 323 for sub woofer reasons.

That's whack.
