Here are some pics of the new trim set up, i bought two yards of this fabric on ebay, removed the trim and wrapped it in this fabric using 3M spray adhesive, it gave me no problems.

The only thing I haven't done is the two front door handle trims, just don't feel like taking the whole doors apart now, maybe in a few weeks...

What is that on your steering wheel? Leather wrap?

Good work!

Did you also do the leather wrap on your steering wheel?

Yes, I got a leather wrap for the steering wheel, it's excellent quality and feels much better than the stock one. And it actually looks better than in the picture. It was the easiest and cheapest option to make the steering wheel a bit thicker without spending over $1K in an M5 wheel.

I like everything except for the cheap looking leather-wrap steering wheel. Spend some dough and let a pro do it for ya.

Buy this one instead: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-M5-5-Se...sQ5fAccessories
