03 x5 interior trim removal

Lacky · #1 03-23-2009, 10:06 PM

Hello, new here, can anyone give me instructions on removing and replacing the interior trim on my X5. It currently has the light colored wood trim, which is not my favorite. I just bought the titanium set and was hoping to do the work myself. Any help or instructions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Most trim pieces simply pry off. Use care to not scratch or gouge the pieces when removing. The hardest part is the center console, which needs to be removed in order to change the trim. See http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/i...le-bmw-x5.html for tips.

they all pry off apart from the steering wheel trim (depending on which model)and the centre console.Good luck with the center console bye the way i changed the trim on my last x (2001)prefacelift and the center cosole was a pig of a job.

I'm actually in the process of doing the same thing, figured I would bring it to my mechanic to do cuz center councel seems like a few hours work and I'd rather see clients in the time and leave my car to the experts.

he doesnt want to do it!!!

he told me its a HUGE pain in the ass? lol

how long does it take approx??
