Can one dye or replace the 2 "A" Pillars to be dark/black? How can I remove them without breaking them? This relates to a 535xi Cream Beige. Thanks.

As far as changing the color, I suppose you could have them dyed but you could also possibly just buy the anthracite or black cover from BMW and install them.

Here's some instructions on how to remove and install the trim:
