These are the links I used.. It's really self explanatory once you get in there and see what it looks like.. You have to tilt the sunroof up and take off the little rubber accordian looking things on each side to see the 3 screws on each side.. They're T25 screws btw, and also, once you start to loosen them your sunroof will drop into those tracks a little bit, maybe 1/4" so don't freak out, you'll just have to align it when you put it back on which really isn't hard..

If you are not sure why you should do that, well... we are trying to create a platform exclusively for diy guides so that we can provide the world with better accessibility to such information.

Another feature worth mentioning is that we will be sharing the revenue generated by our platform with the people that write the diy guides.

Let me know if you have any questions and how you feel about our initiative.

Sounds like a great cause auto

I used your step by step process to remove the head lining from my 09 M3.
The headlining had come adrift in spots and was sucking down with the windows down. it took me a couple of hours to get it out and a bit longer to get it back again.
Trimtech Trimming & Upholstery in Geelong charged me $250 to reline the head lining. So pleased with the result.
Anyway thanks so much for the DIY process.
Cheers

The headlining is hard to show.
The new head lining is not an exact match to the original, but you would have to know. The original head lining had lifted near the grab handles on both sides and if you drove with the windows down the lining was sucked down as well.

Nice.... looks great

Thanks socket for you original write up, most helpful

I’ve just started this project today, took me about 1.5 hours to get the lining out and another 1.5 hours to clean it down, tomorrow comes the fun part gluing the new fabric in place

Oh wow, that's a big job !!!

[FieryFiasco]

Great write-up, will keep this in mind if I find an e92 to rehabilitate!

[EwenMac]

Yep, main point for me was don’t try to recover it yourself, buy one already done, or at least remove the headliner and get a trimmer to do it, I made a mess of mine and now have to buy a replacement, it wasn’t by first headliner job, it’s just the shape of the e92 makes it hard

Yes 100% easier to buy then trim for sure

Ok got her done, bought a headliner board from a guy striping an e 92

And then took in to a trimmer, cost me some cash but it’s all back together and done

✔️ that now off the list hahaha
