FWIW, I have the carbon leather trim in my M3 and love it.

Or since you know at least one member on here is willing to buy the piano black trim and if you are to vinyl the trim pieces they need to come out anyway..

you could sell the trim + exchange with the member and get the exchanged ones vinyled.

might be even cheaper :thumbup:

I've had to buy a few trim pieces (aluminum) to replace ones that got damaged.

Door trim parts are a PITA. door panels need to be removed to remove trim.

The dashboard parts are ok. Easiest bits.

The center console is a complete nightmare. Took about 3 hours to take apart.

The aluminum trim ranged from $125 for a small door part to $180 for a long piece.

As a quick guess. To do a AL trim swap for parts would be around $1300 for parts.

To get dealer to do swap. They would need 6-8 hrs.

FYI. The Piano Black trim will scratch just just like the exterior paint on a car. I have black Bamboo in both my 550 and X5 5.0 and my 550 has really dark bamboo and you can see every scratch on the trim pieces. I would hate to see your interior trim look like S&%t the sun highlight every scratch while you drive your beautiful machine.
