I have fitted the interior carbon trim today, it took approx 40mins and that's taking my time. It make a big difference and flows with all the carbon

First 2 pics are after I did the Job, 3rd pic is a stock pic.

I started with the hand break, you have to pull it off, so I started with the hand break just in case I damaged the DCT carbon trim

Next I used a very small flat head screw driver on the DCT logo centre piece, I wedged it in and rocked it up and down and I could see and hear the glue parting from the silver DCT trim. The rest was easy, a little screw and the silver trim removed.

Trim around the DCT, here is a tip and found it made it easy and no damage, use a trim tool or a small screw driver on the inside not the outer edge. I pushed the DCT in reverse and pushed the tool in the inner section and it pushed the trim up and our with out any damage .

Sorry I was intending to take pics at stages but it was cold and I just wanted it done. Sorry

Yes all OEM, I don't like the idea of adding third party parts. If I was buying a used M2 and it had third party parts on, I would give it a miss.

I have had a number of messages asking where I got the carbon from.

You can buy from your local dealer but they can be very expensive.

Search Ebay uk you will find a couple of BMW dealers selling at discounted price.

I got the DCT carbon set for £295 free Delivery, local dealer could match this price but I would have to collect. Normal price is £400

Steering wheel carbon trim was a bargain £175, a dealer had 2 and they went straight away. There is a couple of dealers selling for £225 free Delivery. Normal price £300.

Very easy to install, just take your time .

I have a number of members asking if you can remove the carbon, I have attached a photo of the underside. As you can see you could remove the carbon if you remove the metal rings

Fitted 2 pieces of mine at the weekend, however, I got stuck on the DCT gear lever. Stubborn plastic trim means I now have a damaged shifter, and its still the original.

I tried tiny flat head (i.e. glasses repair), a larger one and I'm still stuck. Any additional advice?

I've watched a number of You Tube videos including IND and I'm doing nothing different.

All the discount I got on the parts is now wiped out by having to replacing the damaged part FFS. Grrr.

I'm stilling thinking of moving the carbon to the factor plastic insert.

For those thinking of doing this, use a pair of dikes and cut the rings off and reinstall w/new rings.

I've got a similar plastic trim tool and will try that.

Hi

I did put some info at the beginning of the thread, i hope this helps you more.

I pushed the trim tool in the gap of the trim and the DCT gear leave (red arrow) on photo , you will see the front of the trim bend up and un hook.
