It's not very difficult, just a bit awkward. Pop the gear gaitor out, then get your hands in and gently pull the trim out of its clips. You have to unclip the cigarette lighter wiring and carefully manoeuvre the trim piece up over the gearknob and gaitor to pull it completely free. You can remove the gearknob/gaitor (they are attached) but I found it easier to do it this way. There's just 4 torx screws holding the ashtray into the underside of the trim and the new storage tray is a direct swap.
Just have to be careful of the front part of the trim piece catching on your centre stack as my aluminium one was sharp and would have easily badly scratched around my iDrive DVD slot if I wasn't careful.
the tray was £25 from BMW
