i've been searching and just found this for the center trim
https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5650
looks easy and might do it anytime soon, but I cant find any DIY on removing the ones on my the doors only this
https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5650
and found out that you need to slide the trim in some way so that you won't break any of those clips (white 3pcs)
help much appreciated thanks in advance!!

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
Sorry can't help you here, but I love that color interior

I'm currently researching this myself.
, wanted to get the silver one for contrast coz i think the silver one is closer to the color of the aluminum trim but seems like it will not be available anytime soon, i'll research DIY first before i order but im leaning towards titanium, what color did you get??

Its total guess. You might need to remove the door panel 1st and then remove those clips from behind.

I just finished the install this weekend, and it was TIME CONSUMING (About 4 hours alone)! But not difficult. The only hard part was removing the plugs to the switches of the buttons, I broke a few clips already
. I also did not wrap the door handles, because I didnt want to pull apart my doors. So I painted them SATIN BLACK! I think it looks perfect, Too much carbon fiber can be a little cheap looking.FYI: YOU NEED SUPER GLUE FOR THE EDGES!!!! IT IS A MUST!!!
I will post pics soon!
Cheers!
