How do you get the exterior trim of an E92?

I got the lower piece on the rear windows but how does the door, mirror, and upper trim come off? I dont want to break or bend them.

You cant take E92 window trim off without bending pieces and getting kinks on them, pretty much rendering them useless afterwords.

WTF are you trying to do? Black it out? This is done by wrapping your trip in vinyl without taking it off the car.

dude, you can do it yourself in 30 minutes. all you need is vinyl, razor blade, hair dryer and some patience....

ever used masking/painters/electrical/duct tape? ever applied a sticker to anything? same principal.

no need to fuck up your trim and mail it somewhere.

and im sure you could find someone in LA to do it for you if you are super lazy.

im serious. once you take off that lower trim it will never be in the same pristine state...

the lower trim is actually amazingly simple to remove, without doing any harm at all to it. Its the top piece that is trouble
