Anybody here remove the push start/stop button on their 2 Series? Was wanting to paint the trim which is immediately around the start/stop button. Any recommended tools before I go H.A.M?

Use Snapchat to "paint" around the trim, print it out and then put it on top of the button.

When that fails try prying it a bit with a panel tool.

Needs to be brighter

Will attempt this again in the future, possibly with a brighter red. Not the best quality of work, but she'll do for now.

That, looks, interesting. Do you have Coral Red interior? Or any red accents in the dash? I like it, a lot. Wondering if this is a cheap part to just buy and paint on so I can swap back if I get tired of it in the future?
