The center console wood is where all the time has to be spent to change the wood. Let me just say I spent a couple of hours dismantling the console, removing the wood and installing the new set.I also had to install the new cup holder in the console due to the malfunctioning cup holder cover/lid. There are tons of screws in the console. You will need a set of small torx bits to remove the smallest of screws. In the end its all worth it to get the look you desire. I decided that I would be installing the new wood in the X5 when I competed the AC evaporator repair since I would have everything forward of the front seats removed from the vehicle.
