It was actually not that difficult to replace dashboard. It sits in just four to five screws, but you should remove or loosen the center console.

Door seals were not particularly difficult, but it takes much time.

I will swap the centre console for a leather one later. Next mod is heated sport steering wheel.

Just went through your e39 thread and this one. Great job on everything. Cars looks great. How are the shocks holding up with the lowering springs?

Hello! The dampers/shocks work just fine with lowering springs and is still just as tight as before.

It is long since I've updated this thread, but thought it was about time now that I've gotten done little. I have just retrofitted successfully soft close automatics and high beam assist. I´ve also retrofitted fully working rear AUX in combination with front AUX/USB (6FL).
