Newbie 328i Interior Question

[S4LaFerry]

Hey guys, I have no experience with BMW's whatsoever, but my girlfriend has a 2007 328i 4door, so it's time to start reading up on them!

I've only had experience with old cars, muscle cars and domestics, so I have a couple questions:

What "E" designation is her car?

Also, this may be a stupid question, but the little plate with the ACC plug inside the center console of her car has fallen down into the console and I want to pull it back up and put it where it goes...how do I go about taking the console loose? There are no exposed screws and I don't want to break anything costly. lol

Thanks in advance for any help possible!!

Yeah, I was referring you for the E designation question. Sorry no idea about the console either. Any pics of what you are trying to fix?

You mean the whole little plate that has the USB and ACC plugs is flopping around in the center console?

Heres a couple pix of the inside of the console with the ACC plug that has fallen down into the console.
