Replacement Aluminium Carbon centre console trim

Post by Rochester_Eagle » Wed Jul 09, 2014 2:09 pm

Can any one point me in the right direction please.

I have just purchased a 10 plate S Drive 35i M Sport and the carbon aluminium trim around the gear box has
a few nicks and scratches and I would like to replace it.

Brand new are loadsa munny, so have started to search the breakers.

Can anyone suggest any other sources/outlets where I might find trim pieces and such like.

Most grateful.

Hi mine has some scratches too - clearly not all Z4 owners love their cars like we do!

I'd be interested in knowing more about this too - is it easy to take the old trim off?

thanks for all replies, will try out Quarry Motors as suggested by ric19.

I bet they are a bastard to get off like most stuff on a BMW, any tips on removing Kidney grilles?

Same problem here. Dealers want £348 plus vat and £130 to fit. Have asked a few interior refurbishers too and they think it'll be a problem to spray as it appears to be a tinted lacquer.

Asked on here how to get the bit off but no one seems to know.
