Removing dash trim?

Zaver · 11-25-2018, 04:42 PM

Hi all, anyone know how to remove the "wood" trim from across the dash/facia and shiny black surround around the radio/HVAC area? Mine is squeaking like a '90s Kia and the dealer claims it's normal (and it's just materials expanding and contracting!) Thanks

Your dealer is a dimwit

Hate to bring up an old thread but the original link no longer works. Does anyone know how to do this? I need to replace pull the Radio/HVAC units out so see if I can clean up the buttons since it appears that the previous owner spilled coffee on it causing one of the seat heater buttons to stick. I''m not paying $800 for a new part and want to see if I can clean it up or get a replacement from like eBay for like a fraction of the dealer cost for a new one.

Totally forgot that I already posted the above. My bad.

Take a look at this: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1&postcount=16

I attached some pictures and a manual on how to disassemble several parts, including the headunit and trims around it.
