Hi,

Is this possible to do in a 2006 330i and if so does anyone know how much the parts might cost from a dealership?

Thanks in advance

its possible. and dealer charge an arm and a leg. you are better off looking for a use kit.

true. where can you find trim for cheaper???

Wouldn't CF trim be cheaper?

canucklion · 02-22-2007, 02:22 PM

I think silver CF is an alternative

the best I think is to trade + cash with a fellow member

Hi,

Can you help me out here? I am not sure what you mean when you say "silver CF".

Thanks

CF = carbon fiber

check out Sponsor's market forum, there are a few vendors selling carbon fiber trims!

Thanks for your help.

not a problem, IMO, if you're going to spend that kind of money on OEM aluminum, might as well spend it on something more unique, i.e. silver or black cf, for approx. same amount of money

If you have wood trim, which one do you have dark or light? I have the dark burl walnut, but I have the Auto trans Aluminum gear selector. I think it is always this way from the factory, but If you, by chance, have the Dark walnut gear selector I would be willing to switch. Let me know.

Yes. This is the most practical option. Find someone with aluminum who wants wood trim.
