I've got a very annoying rattle on the left dash-trim piece, which covers the headlight control.
Is it the same procedure in removing the left-side, as in the pic above?
Thanks!

NO. you must pry out the headlight switch panel first, then unscrew the vent before you can pop off the left side piece.

Thanks for the response Felix. When I got in the car, I realized that the squeaking noise is actually coming from the headlight switch panel. Do I need to start prying anywhere in particular? -- And do tell how you know this.
You may or many not get all of the clips out when you remove the switch. if so, remove them from the dash and re-attach them to the switch tightly before you press the switch back into place.

the headlight switch panel pries out, the clips are on all 4 corners. much tighter fit than the wood trim. I found out the hard way by breaking my friend's a/c vent in removing the trim (mine came out, but not easily. His vent just gave way first.) so, I had to buy a new vent for him.

Its fairly straight forward to do, just be careful removing the idrive knob...

Thanks to those who posted the pics. I followed your instructions on taking apart my 2005 545i dash. I successfully installed an iPod integration kit and all is back together and awaiting dealer activation. It was really helpful to see the pictures.
