Answer :

NOTHING HAS TO BE REMOVED !!

The following post from this thread contains info on the install, from what I see it's a case of loosening the instrument cluster to fit the overhanging material behind for a clean install:

- Press the Alcantara or leather casing on the existing dashboard-housing. You might have to apply a lot of pressure
- Reinstall the speedometer/Tachometer Clock

As my M2 keeps getting postponed (due end of May now ) I'm yet to try it out... I might temporarily try it on the M240i for fitment purposes however

I know what you mean metric, check their facebook gallery for close up pics. The cover has overhanging material to fold behind the instrument cluster for an OE look.

Mine arrives this week, I'll report back once installed.
