Morning All

As requested, I will compile a table for the wood trim panels for the Rear Centre Console later today.

Will post under a new topic.

E60525d: Leather like in M5 not available yet - not in the ETK catalogue - maybe later in 2005 after M5 is out.

Yes - wood on lower part like in MY 2005 cars!

All the Best

Hi E60525d

It's not that bad. The most hazardous part is getting the from horizontal dashboard trim off - the piece that has the hazard warning switch/centre air vent in it. You need the right plastic wedge to take it off and 95% likely that you will need to replace some of the plastic clips that hold the trim panel into the dashboard. There is also a bolt to be undone that is immediately underneath the hazard warning switch! Tip: if some of the plastic retaining clips are broken, it is WISE to replace them otherwise you will have a creaking dashboard trim - very annoying.

Takes about 45 minutes to get the centre trim panel off. I'm sure that someone has already posted instructions how to do it. If not, then PM me and I will send the relevant PDFs to you.

All the Best

OK.

Here are the instructions as requested!

Suggest you do this in order:

TIS_6131079___Removing_Hazard_Warning_Switch.pdf

TIS_5145380___Removing_RH_Strip_on_Instrument_Panel.pdf

TIS_5145310___Removing_Center_Trim_for_Instrument_Panel.pdf

All the Best

E60525d - I don't know how much the part is in the UK - but you could just phone your dealer Parts Dept and they'll tell you.

I'm trying to get the part number for those plastic retaining clips. Can't find it yet on the ETK... Will add another reply when I have found it.

What's the difference between Black and Basalt Grey? I think we all should be choosing the Black portion right?

OK, I was curious myself -- so what is the difference? I thought there was only one Anthracite color?
