Is there a full guide anywhere for removal of the Z4 interior trim? I have a Carbon Leather trim enroute to me so I want to read up on how I am going to swap my current trim over for this.

Thanks
 
Have a crack using

Remove + console

This should throw up some threads with the pics you need

Having done it last month I can tell you it's a massive pain in the arse, it will take you the best part of a day. You really need to take the seats out first so that you have easy access to the rear console and lower console side screws, and you have to remove the rear one before you can take out the main console. It's also bloody hard to get the leather knee pads off without damaging them, they need a hell of a yank. It took me far longer than I thought it would!
 
Hmmm...sounds like I am going to have some fun. I am not exactly gentle. I can envisage an Angry Man (Chewin' the fat - Scottish members will understand :D) episode. Are any special tools required?

I would definitely invest (£5) in some plastic trim removal tools. These are the ones I have had any they have stood up to my yanking pretty well. Might want to check if you need a Torx screwdriver as well (T25 heads are all over the Zed so I wouldn't be surprised if you encounter some).

Was it you that just paid £650 for the carbon leather trim on ebay, by the way? Not a bad price - certainly compared to what you would pay for a new set.

Thanks for the link.

It was me that bought it yes, I didn't pay anywhere near £650 though :thumbsup:

I've done it a few times now and never taken the seat out.

PM me your email address OP and I will send you over some PDFs for doing the job.
