Cleaning under iDrive controls

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I guess the previous owner spilled some soda or coffee on the iDrive controls, because now that I live north from where i lived last winter, some of my control buttons (CD and Radio mainly) seem to stick a bit in the morning when its really cold out.

Do the controls just pop out or something ? I wanna get in there and clean whatever is there without breaking anything.

You're going to have to remove the whole middle dash. It's only hold down by one screw once you pop that open it's pretty much unplugging the control and seeing if you can remove individuals part in it to clean it. Good luck!
