Leave the windows cracked for a day to disperse the smell.

Now I enter my X5 and gaze at the clean black headliner as BMW intended.

Looks great!
Great job! I hate to tell you this but I wanted to share it so others would benefit. I removed my airbag stickers by heating them with a hair dryer until the softened and using a tweezers to gentle pick at the edge until it was up. From there, the rest of it just peeled right off. It left a little adhesive residue that can be cleaned up with something like Goof Off. I left it as it was barely noticeable. Total time was about 5-10 minutes for each side.

Great initiative on your part and you got the job done.
