Help DIY interior trims swap

fakerlin · 02-18-2006, 03:43 AM

Hi all,

My car will be delivered with Titanium Matte trims, but I changed my mind and have ordered the brushed aluminium trims to be retrofitted, but my dealer wants 4-500$ to do the swap. A friend of mine has a 540i E39 and he did the swap himself and it was apparently very easy Now I am looking for a handy soul that could help me out what to think of when doing this myself. I really appreciate any help I can get!

Nobody?

Why can't you just modify the build sheet? I have been told by my dealer that I can tweak the car as more or less as much as I want up until about 1 week prior to actual production. I have taken full advantage of this and have modified the sheet on 4 separate occasions. Or is it too late for you..?

Ouais, trop tard

On the other hand, they don´t charge me all that much for it... oh well, we´ll see how it goes
