Can you easily change the interior trim on an M3?

I found a local seller that has the car I want with everything, except it has the sycamore anthracite wood trim which I don't like at all.

How hard is it to swap this out for the carbon leather trim? I think it looks way better. I figure it might cost me about what the stand-alone option costs, about 500 bucks or so, if I did it myself.

I searched the forum and it looks like people have sold their trim sets, so I'm guessing its doable. What about warranty implications?

Thanks,

JM

Don't worry about the warranty, I would be concerned if you are leasing and when it comes time for that dreaded inspection.

Its pretty easy, but the first time I did it it took me a few extra hours just figuring it out for the first time. I could probably do it all in less than an hour now. Definitely doable. And im sure there's a DIY somewhere on here for good support.
