Hey,

I'm looking to swap my dark wood burl trim for brushed aluminum. E90 325i non i drive.

My trim is in great condition and gives the interior a nice, classy feel. My wife loves it, but I'm more into the sporty look.

If you're interested in swapping, let me know. I've gotten some good pointers on removing the trim - it's no biggie.

Good luck swapping yours. I just swapped out my wood for aluminum with another member here. I love the aluminum!

I think it cost like $50 or $60 bucks to package everything properly and ship via Ground UPS.

I paid a mechanic to remove the parts for me because I didn't want to take a chance in cracking the pieces.

Bump.

I haven't removed it yet, but according to all of the research I've done, you just have to be careful, and use plastic/cloth covered tools.
