I started redoing my interior with carbon fiber tonight. I got the big dash panel done, and center. I cant seem to get the dash trim to the left of the steering wheel out. Does anyone know how to get it out? Also I havent tried to remove the door trim, but in my old E39 it just pulled off, is this the same way? Ill post some pics of what ive done so far. I also took some pictures of the back of the air ducks if anyone is interested to post they in a DIY

I'm trying! Just got a new M3 shift knob, the one with the perforated leather and ordered a black alcantara leather shift boot with grey stitching. If you cant tell my interior was starting to bore me.

theres a screw underneath the panel. I think. U have to pry off the headlight part first. to remove the door handles, u must remove ur door trim.

When you say to remove the door handles you must remove the door trim, do you mean i have to remove the whole door panel in order to get behind it to release the wood trim?
