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.
