Anyway to change interior trim?

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 04:22 PM

I wanted the aluminum,,,but wasn't going to wait several months for my e90 to be built and hauled over...So I ended up with the wood trim,,, Which I like

BUT being a die hard mac user, and all of their interfaces brushed aluminum, I would like to change it

Is it possible? I'd imagine if so, it's costly

teknochild · 12-23-2006, 04:22 PM

yea just order it from your dealer, you might pay an arm and a leg, i think someone said they got some for less than 200$ though which is really cheap IMO

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 04:24 PM

So the dealer will charge for the parts and labour correct?

ScheerSpeed · 12-23-2006, 04:26 PM

i might be swapping my wood for aluminum with someone

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 04:27 PM

Well considering you're in Miami and I'm in Jacksonville that could be feasible...Just have to find a dealership willing to do it

Edit: nevermind..i re-read it, u also have wood lol (no pun intended) lol :-p

ScheerSpeed · 12-23-2006, 04:32 PM

no. i meant that i have wood. and that i might be swapping it with someone. (same position you are in.)

just parts, you should be able to take the trim out and put the new trim in yourself, most cars its snapped in and screwed in in a few places

edit: then you can sell the old trim on here, sure theres plenty of people who want to get extra tim to paint

try est. 700$ (stealership pricing)... which is an arm and a leg...

and yes... you can do the trim work yourself... but i'd make sure you have those plastic tools to pop them out

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 09:36 PM

eek

i'll ask the dealership sometime this week about it.

StewtheBassman · 12-23-2006, 09:47 PM

There is a DIY in the DIY section that details the swap. It is3/10, 1 being easy, you just have to be patient and gentle.

Search in the For sale section, you'll surely find someone willing to sell you or swap with you.

Heck, I have titanium matte in a box in my garage that I'll sell you cheap, I bought wood trim and did it myself and I'm very happy I did!

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 09:49 PM

Titanium Matte is the one that I was wanting right? Like the brushed aluminum effect?

StewtheBassman · 12-23-2006, 09:53 PM

No, it's the base 325 trim from Canada and Europe. Brushed Aluminum is the optional along with wood here in Canada. It is plastic that looks like something metallic.

MonacoBimm · 12-23-2006, 09:55 PM

I am selling my Titanium Matte Trim. Anyone wants to buy it? It is in immaculate condition.

StewtheBassman · 12-23-2006, 10:04 PM

What did you switch for Monaco?

tbonecopper · 12-23-2006, 11:11 PM

Ahh I'm after the brushed aluminum look

I havent switched yet. I was wondering If I could do a swap maybe.

StewtheBassman · 12-24-2006, 05:55 AM

Then you probably know that the TM is the poor cousin...Wood and Alu are $600 options here in Canada. I paid $250 shipped to an e90post member for my wood.

ScheerSpeed · 12-24-2006, 09:59 PM

d3l0n · 12-24-2006, 10:52 PM

StewtheBassman · 12-25-2006, 08:47 AM

Make sure you distinguish between Titanium matte (cheapie) and Brushed Aluminium (expensive and fancy).
