Hey Helmuth, its not that bad. I was really expecting it to be a difficult job, but it ended up being just tedious job. But with the help of the Bentley Manual I made short work of it.

Seeing that the dealer gets about $4k for the job, I will DIY if my dash ever needs to be removed!

Just keep all the screws labeled in bags. Other than that, can't see it being too complex.
