....Help With Interior Trim....

Gkap · 07-25-2011, 10:18 AM

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone local has experience with swapping the
E92 M3 interior trim. Or any recommendations for a good place to
get it done. I know I can go to the dealer but figured I would
ask here to see if anyone has some good input. Thanks

I have an E90 and swapped it out myself. It is pretty easy just have to watch the piece that has the start button as there are wires attached. If you need some help let me know.

I have set of interior trim tools. 4 or 5 pieces and it was pretty cheap. I cant remember where I bought it, ECS tuning I think for around $10-$20.

Let me know when you would like a hand - i have the tools so no need to buy any if you dont like, you can use mine.

On a different note, do you guys know if angel eyes or Lux are the way to go? I am looking for white as oppose to blue and more of a LED ring / concentrated light than anything. Can you tell me where I can get these locally?

+2 for LUX v3's. Worth the money for sure. seems like the verdict is still out on AiB 4.0s.

I knew I could get your attention....

Good luck with the restoration. I am sure it is a lot of work!

Thanks! Haha, I still like to visit here often...but I've been literally swamped with the restoration deadline(which we unhappily missed). So now I have a bit of time to relax after a week of 9am - 3am days. Going to NYC till mid next week, might run into you guys on my way there.

Thank you so much. I think I am probably the worse person who can't change a single thing on the car so I would have to take it to a good installer. Hopefully Lux are an easy swap.

Thanks!
