it wasn't hard at all to remove the trim pieces, just took a while because i took me some looking around to figure out that in order to take out the trim piece that surrounds the ash tray you have to take off the whole center console but all this was easy using these great DIY's from Andy @ LeatherZ
Remove Various Pieces of Interior Trim DIY
E-Brake Boot Removal DIY
Center Console Removal DIY

i used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, as was recommended by everyone else that wrapped their interior with this fabric. i bought mine at Michaels (black and purple can) but i suggest you look for the can like the one in the link (black and red, sold at home-depot, lowe's, ACE etc...) because they are the same price but the black and red can has more product. i didn't notice this until after i bought it so i gave 3M a call to see if they where different products, they said that they are the same but just market it to different consumers.

idk if anyone has tried it but i think it wouldn't come out right since it has dimples, even if you somehow got the fabric flush on the trim there would be air bubbles. if you have aluminum trim and want to do this i would suggest trading or buying new/used trim.

ButterzM - did you manage to take pics of your charcoal setup? I'm really undecided between the charcoal and black but haven't seen any good photos of the charcoal yet.. any chance you could post a few?

Seeing this interior has sold me on ordering Terracotta interior and probably CF wrap interior (DIY). I have a question though, does the Terracotta leather show wear and tear more than other colors.

Just went onto BMWUSA, they now longer have this Terracotta leather as a option, was that an '08 option only?

i've had the car for a little over a year now and i haven't see any signs of major wear and tear yet. i don't know if it was just an 08' option, anyone wanna chime in on this??

It's a Priority One option (like Lemon) and is not listed on the BMWUSA site.

You know guys, you don't have to do it all yourself. We provide the wrapping services. You send us your trim, pay for the service and it gets shipped back to you.

You can PM me or e-mail info@execstudio.com for quotes.
