Wood Trim replacement in UK?

[Darren P]

Ive seen the X5 for me, but its got the light wood trim and to be honest not me choice on trim i like the silver trim with the beige leather, i know from reading the articles that it can be done but my question is does anyone know where i can get the replacement trim from and how much it is?? I know it would be easier to get one with the trim already fitted but lifes not that easy!!

Please remember i live in the uk!!

Silver trim with beige leather??? Doesn't sound right. Silver trim with black leather maybe. I think the beige leather would look nice with the dark wood, but that's just my opinion.

Silver/Blk gives it that sport look. Beige/Dark poplar gives it a luxury look.

I recently switched mine to the titanium with blk leather, and I love the look. In fact I'm doing the same on my 540i as well.

I was quoted around £750 for the parts from my BMW dealer plus the fitting. You can get Carbon Fibre trim for around £950 or nearer £1400 from ACS. I'm told that some bits are easy to change whilst other parts (around the shift lever for example) are very fiddly (and easy to damage). I've got Light Poplar on Cream Beige in my 4.8is and it's a perfect match, I can't say I ever tire of it. Because I'm getting a new 4.8is shortly I've gone for a complete change around and chose Black leather with Dark Poplar, but either looks good.
