No, it was actually real easy. Remove the iDrive trim, remove the cup holder trim, and remove the rear air vent trim. That will expose 6 screws, 3 for each side. The ones by the cup holder are tricky. You will need a swivel socket with a torx T20 bit or something flexible enough to remove the screws. After you remove all of the screws they slide out pulling them towards you. (ie towards the back of the vehicle). That's pretty much it. I've read a few post where people wrap all of the trim with the pieces still on the car. I didn't like that idea, so I removed all of the trim. I even contact cemented the edges on the back for a permanent install. I'm pretty confident I won't have any peeling issues. Also I used the 3M primer before apply the Dinoc. Two coats and let them dry in between.
