Carbon fiber interior trim

Bimma30 · 01-17-2021, 08:04 AM

Can anyone suggest a link on where to get affordable carbon fiber interior trims not looking to break the bank. If anyone has gotten any from eBay or Amazon I wouldn't mind looking into those as well. I'm mainly looking for the interior door panel trims and the center middle air vent trim (the chrome looking trims that are highlighted in the picture.) Thanks everyone

Cheapest, vinyl wrap it.

Anyone have a link for the lower console piece (around the shifter) in CF?

rem40i · 01-18-2021, 12:27 AM

Has anyone installed the Autotecknic CF pieces? Does it look oem or is it noticeable you placed cf pieces on top of the trim?

Very good option and not extremely expensive.

If you want it OE, you have to buy the whole console as it comes in one piece, that's what I've done as my future X4 M40i is ordered with CF trim but 2021 models come now with the whole console in piano black.

I found one on ebay in perfect condition, it comes from a X3MC, but emblem is very easily removable so I will just put the M emblem that comes in the M40i.

OE reference for left hand driving is 51168072940.

I ordered this the beginning of January. It should arrive by the end of the month. Hopefully

Can the old trims on door and dash actually be removed? I thought I read that they were actually moulded into the door cards somehow (as a cost-reduction)?

I don't know if they are moulded in doors and dash, but definitely it is in center console, that's why you have to change it completely if you want the CF trim:

The door trim can be removed. See link below for all part numbers for CF.

I also ordered a full X3 carbon interior trim set from them a few weeks ago and they indicated it would be ready to ship mid-Feb

Marmugmotleocay · 02-09-2021, 03:52 PM

After a month and 9 days it has shipped from Autoteknic. I can't wait to stop looking at the fake wood.

It can be removed but is plastic welded to the doors. BMW have a plastic welding process for replacing them.

I do vaguely recall seeing some diagrams/instructions previously about the door trims. Were you able to replace your factory trims?
